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 online catalog (weber.edu/catalog) and/or contact the department for a suggested course sequence. Applied Environmental Geoscience bachelor's degree (bs) Advisors: Dr. Marek Matyjasik, 801-626-7726 Dr. JamesR. Wilson, 801-6: » 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.
