Notes:
• Experience with a modern scientific computing language and geographic information systems is essential and can be gained in a course such as GEOL 3359 - Computer Methods in Earth Sciences.
• The requirements for the Earth sciences major are considered minimal. Students planning careers in the Earth sciences should take additional coursework according to the geoscience emphasis that best fits their goals. Students should consult a faculty adviser for suggestions.
A minimum of 25 credit hours of additional advanced elective courses at the 3000 level and above, not to exceed 12 credit hours outside of Earth sciences. The concentration plan must be approved by the department academic adviser at least one academic year prior to expected graduation.
