DEPARTMENT OF GEOSCIENCES Chair: Sidney Ash Location: Science Lab Building, Room SL 202M Telephone Contact: Karen Dalebout, 626-7139 Professors: Sidney Ash, Richard W. Moyle, James R. Wilson; Associate Professors: Danny Vaughan, W. Adolph Yonkee; Assistant Professor: Jejfery Eaton Description Geosciences are concerned with the earth, its origin, composition, and evolution through time as well as studying the processes that affect the earth's surface and the life forms that have lived on the earth in the past. The Geosciences area offers a bachelor degree in geology. The Department of Geosciences also offers an Earth Science Composite Teaching Major and an option in the Physical Science/Mathematics/Computer Science Composite major. A geology minor and a geology teaching minor are available as well as a geospacial analysis minor. PROGRAM: GEOLOGY MAJOR BACHELOR DEGREE General Requirements: • WSU Core Requirements (see index). • General Education Requirements (see index). • A minor is required. • A grade of C- or better is required in all Geoscience courses and required support courses to be counted in the major. • 183 total hours are required for this degree. Sixty of the 183 total hours must be upper division (courses numbered 300 and above). • An overall GPA of 2.00 (C) is required. Specific Requirements: • Minimum of 58 credit hours in Geoscience courses. • Geoscience core courses required of all majors (50 credit hours): Geosc PS111 (5), 112 (1), 113 (1), 122 (5), 205 (5), 206 (5), 306 (4), 315 (4), 318 (4), 376 (4), 406 (3), 451 (6), and 499 (3). • Select a minimum of 8 credit hours chosen from the following elective groups: one of Geosc 254 (4), 308 (4), 388 (4), or 453 (4); and one of Geosc 385 (4), 455 (4), 460 (4), or 463 (4). Required support courses: • Chem PS121 (5), 122 (5), 123 (5); Math 106 (5), 107 (5). Fifteen hours of Physics in the General Physics series: PhsxPSlll (4), 112(4), 113(4), PS114(1), 115(1), 116 (l)orPhsxPS161 (4), 162(4), 163 (4), PS164 (1), 165(1), 166 (1). Computer Science - Comsci PD102 (4). Recommended support courses: • Hist 341 (5). • All students planning to attend graduate school should take the Physics series and Math 111 (5), 112 (5), and 113 (4). • Students contemplating advanced degrees in geophysics should select a physics minor and additional mathematics. Additional mathematics is also required for advanced degrees in hydrology. The physical chemistry sequence is recommended for students planning advanced study in geochemistry, mineralogy, or mineral deposits. Advanced work in paleontology, stratigraphy, or related fields would benefit from course work in zoology. • Recommended minors for students planning a professional career in geology or related field: chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer science, geospatial analysis or a life science. Students whose career goals are in the areas of management or technical writing should consider a business minor or English minor.
