Show Arts, Letters and Science — Geology and Geography necessary training to meet employment demands in the Earth Sciences and Geography as taught on the secondary school level. Departmental Geography Major—Students taking the Geography Major are required to complete a minimum of 45 hours of satisfactory work in Geography including the following courses: Geography 101, 152, 305, 336, 340, 381, 405, 499, and 15 hours in regional courses, 354 through 378. Majors are also required to take Geology 111, 112, 315, and 341. Departmental Geography Minor—Students taking the Geography Minor are required to complete a minimum of 25 hours of satisfactory work in Geography including the following courses: Geography 101, 110, 152, and 10 hours of upper division courses. Departmental minors are also required to take Geology 111 and 112. Minors are encouraged to take Geography 101 and 110 prior to regional courses. The Geography Minor for students majoring in Geology may be completed with a minimum of 26 hours in Geography including the following: Geography 110, 113, 152, 305, and eight additional hours of upper division courses. Geography Teaching Major—Students taking the Geography Teaching Major are required to complete a minimum of 46 hours of satisfactory work in Geography including the following courses: Geography 101, 152, 321, 336, 340, 350, 405, 499 plus at least 15 hours from the following: 354, 359, 362, 364, 374, and 378. In addition Geology 341 is required. Geography 305 is strongly recommended. Geography Teaching Minor—Same requirements as Departmental Geography Minors. Departmental Geology Major—Students taking the Geology Major are required to complete from 48-60 hours of satisfactory work in Geology including the following courses: Geology 111 and 112 (or 101 plus Geology 112), 122, 204, 205, 206, 295 (3 hours), 306, 318, 376, 406, 450, 480, and either 363 or 385. Geology majors are also required to take the following courses: Chemistry 121, 122 and 123; Mathematics 106 and 107; and fifteen hours of physics in the General Physics or Engineering Physics series. Engineering Physics is required of those going into Geophysics. Departmental Geology Minor—Students taking the Geology Minor are required to satisfactorily complete the following courses: Geology 111 and 112 (or 101 plus Geology 112), 122, 204, 205, and 206. He also must take two of the following three Arts, Letters and Science — Geology and Geography courses and sign up for a one hour special problem covering the subject content of the third course: Geology 295 (3 hours), 306, and 318. Earth Science Teaching Major—A student selecting this major must have a minimum of 37 hours of Geology, 13 hours of Geography, 4 hours of Astronomy, plus the following minimum hours in the supporting areas: 10 hours of Physics, 10 hours of Chemistry, 10 hours of Mathematics, and 4 hours of Botany. The required courses represent minimal training in the Earth Sciences but are selected to provide the student with a workable knowledge and an adequate base for graduate work. A minor is required and one of the Biological Sciences is strongly recommended as the minor. Students electing the Earth Science Teaching Major must select a minor other than those offered by the department. The required courses are: Geology 111, 112, 122, 204, 206, 275, 295 (3 hours) and 306. Geology 121 may be substituted for 204 and 206. In addition the student must take any two of the following courses: Geology 315, 318, 376, 385, 406 and 450. In addition, Geography 113, 152, and 305; Physics 103, and Botany 341 are required. Required courses in the supporting areas include Physics 111, 112, 114, 115, or 261, 262, 264, 265; Chemistry 121, 122; Mathematics 106 and 107. Physics 113 or 263, 116 or 266 are suggested electives. Earth Science Teaching Minor—Students taking the Earth Science Teaching Minor are required to complete a minimum of 25 hours of satisfactory work in Geology and Geography in- eluding the following courses: Geology 111, 112, 121, 122, 306, and either Geography 113 or 305, plus one of the following: Geology 295 (3 hours), 315, 318, 341, 376, or 406. Students are encouraged to strengthen their background in Earth Science by taking Geology 275, Physics 103 and Geography 152. The Earth Science Teaching Minor complements both the Biological and Physical Science Teaching Major in our present secondary school teaching program, both in-state and contiguous areas. Students electing an Earth Science Teaching Minor must have a major in another field outside the department. Composite Teaching Major in Physical Sciences—(Geography- Geology emphasis) See Mathematics and Physical Sciences Composite Teaching Major, School of Education. Any deviation from these requirements must have departmental approval prior to the senior year. 126 127 |
