A competence in geology and the other earth sciences may enhance the career possibilities of primary and secondary school teachers and individuals pursuing graduate opportunities or employment in other science fields, such as chemistry, biology and physics. The Geoscience Minor is also appropriate for majors in economics, politics, anthropology/sociology who anticipate careers in government or industry that will involve issues of public policy concerning the environment.

Note:

*Some students first develop an interest in Geosciences while taking GOL 105 (Society, Earth and the Environment). Considerable overlap in course content exists between GOL 105 and GOL 225 , so credit toward the minor will not be given for both GOL 105 and GOL 225 .
