Adolph Yonkee Location: Science Lab Building, Room SL 202M Telephone Contact: Susan Swider, 801-626-7139 Professors: James R. Wilson, W. Adolph Yonkee; Associate Professors: Jeffery Eaton, Richard Ford, Marek Matyjasik I he 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, Earth science teaching minor, and a geospatial analysis minor are available. A certificate in Geomatics (Applied Computer Mapping) is also available. Geology Major Advisor: Dr. Jeffrey Eaton, 801-626-6225 » Program Prerequisite: None » Minor: Required for Option A; Not required for Option B * » 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 - 69 to 71 of these are required within the major for Option A, and 75 to 77 of these are required in the major for Option B. A total of 40 upper division credit hours is required (courses numbered 3000 and above) - 29 to 32 of these are required within the major for Option A, and 35 to 38 are required within the major for Option B. 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 (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 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 PS/SI1210, Geosci PS/SI1110, Phsx PS/SI2010, andPhsxPS/SI2210.. * Students may benefit from having a minor in such fields as chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer science, geospatial analysis, or a life science, and should consult with an advisor prior to choosing an option.
