Geology Plans of Study

There is no single semester-by-semester plan of study for either the B.A. or B.S. degree because of the flexibility encouraged within the program. However, one possible sequence of courses for each degree is given below; variations from these samples of plans of study should be made in consultation with a departmental advisor.
