Honors in Geology
Geology is the study of the planet Earth—the materials it is made of, the processes which affect these materials, and the origin and evolution of life. Geologists are employed by companies engaged in exploration for and production of minerals and fuels, by government agencies, by companies engaged in engineering and environmental projects, and by universities.
Continuation in the Honors in Geology program requires successful completion of at least 24 units with a minimum 3.0 GPA in the previous Fall/Winter. In addition, graduation requires a minimum 3.0 GPA on the last 60 units credited to the degree.
A student enrolling in the Honors program should consult the Geology program student advisor before registration each year.
