Adolph Yonkee Location: Science Lab Building, Room SL 202M Telephone Contact: Susan Swider, 801-626-7139 Professors: James R. Wilson, Danny M. Vaughn; Associate Professors: Jeffery Eaton, W. Adolph Yonkee; Assistant Professors: Richard Ford, Marek Matyjasik The Geosciences are concerned with the earth, its origin, composition, and evolution through time as well as studying the processes that affect the earth and the life forms that have lived on it in the past. Many geoscience applications use computer technology (GIS and Remote Sensing) for mapping the earth and modeling the processes that affect the planet. The department offers bachelor degrees in Geology, Applied Environmental Geosciences, and Earth Science Teaching and an option in the Physical Science Composite Teaching Major. A geology minor, geology teaching minor, and a geospatial analysis minor are also available. GEOLOGY MAJOR BACHELOR DEGREE (B.S. OR B.A.) Advisor: Dr. Jeffrey Eaton, 801-626-6225 » Program Prerequisite: None » Minor: Required.* » Grade Requirements: A grade of "C-" or better in courses required for this major in addition to an overall GPA for all courses of 2.00 or higher. » Credit Hour Requirements: A total of 120 credit hours is required for graduation — 68 to 70 of these are required within the major. A total of 40 upper division credit hours is required (courses numbered 3000 and above) — 28-33 of these are required within the major. Advisement All Geology 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 (refer to page 18 of this catalog). There are no special admission or application requirements for this program. General Education Refer to pages 35-39 of this catalog for either 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 Geology major will also satisfy general education requirements: Chem PS1210, Geosci PSlllO, Phsx PS2010/PS2010L, and Phsx PS2210/PS2210L. * Students contemplating advanced degrees in geophysics should select a physics minor and additional mathematics. Additional mathematics is also required for advanced degrees in hydrology. Recommended minors for students planning a professional career in geology or related fields include: 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 minor in business or English.

The physical chemistry sequence, Chem 3410-3420 (8), is recommended for students planning advanced study in geochemistry, mineralogy, ° mineral deposits. Advanced work in paleontology, stratigraphy, or related fields would benefit from course work in zoology or botany- 263 Suggested Course Sequence The following suggested course sequence is provided to assist students in planning their schedules.
