Support Courses Required (25-27 credit hours) CHEM PS/SI 1210/31220 Principles of Chemistry (10) PHYS PS/SI2010/SI2020 General Physics (10) or PHYS PS/SI2210/SI2220 Physics for Scientists & Engineers (10) * either MATH QL1050 & MATH 1060 College Algebra (4) Trigonometry (3) MATH QL1080 Precalculus (5) ** Students planning to attend graduate school should take PHYS PS/ SI2210-SI2220, Physics for Scientists & Engineers, instead of the General Physics series (PHYS PS/SI2010-SI2020). ^Students planning to attend graduate school should also take MATH S11210/SI1220, Calculus I and II (8). The physical chemistry sequence, CHEM 3410-3420 (8), is recommended for students planning advanced study in geochemistry, mineralogy, or mineral deposits. Advanced course work in zoology or botany is recommended for students planning advanced work in paleontology, stratigraphy, or related fields. Suggested Course Sequence Please refer to this program in the on-line catalog (weber.edu/catalog) and/or contact the department for a suggested course sequence. APPLIED ENVIRONMENTAL GEOSCIENCE BACHELOR DEGREE (B.S.) Advisors: Dr. Marek Matyjasik, 801-626-7726, Dr. James R. Wilson, 801-626-6208 » Program Prerequisite: None. » Minor: Not required. » Grade Requirements: A grade of "C-" or better in each courses required by this major in addition to a minimum cumulative GPA for all courses of 2.0. » Credit Hour Requirements: A total of 120 credit hours is required for graduation - 84 to 87 of these are required within the major. A total of 40 upper division credit hours is required (courses numbered 3000 and above) - 31 to 34 of these are required within the major. Advisement All Geoscience students are required to meet with a faculty advisor (see above) at least annually for course and program advisement. Call 801-626-7139 for more information or to schedule an appointment. Admission Requirements Declare your program of study (see page 18). There are no special admission or application requirements for this program. However, students should meet with an advisor to plan and declare their program of study. General Education Refer to pages 36-41 for Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts requirements. MATH QL1050 or MATH QL1080 is recommended for the Quantitative Literacy requirement. The following courses required for the Applied Environmental Geoscience major will also satisfy general education requirements: CHEM PS/SI 1210, GEO PS1060, GEO PS/SI1110, PHYS PS/SI2010, and PHYS PS/SI2210.
