Students in the College of Geosciences may elect to have two major fields of study within the College, or they may elect to have a major in the College of Geosciences in conjunction with a major in another college, with the approval of both colleges involved, provided that both majors lead to the same baccalaureate degree.

 A student should be able to complete a double major for the baccalaureate degree by adding a modest number of credit hours more than required by a single major. The following requirements must be met by the student: 1) satisfy all University and college requirements, 2) successfully complete departmental requirements in each major, if both majors are in the College of Geosciences, and 3) in cases where one major is in the College of Geosciences and the other is in another college, the student must successfully meet the major field of study requirements for each area as determined by each college. Some departments may not permit double majors.

  Minors

Students may choose to complete a minor in the College of Geosciences. All minors will require not less than 15 hours and not more than 18 hours in the discipline; at least 6 hours must be upper-division courses in the discipline. Each student choosing to complete a minor must contact the department offering the minor to determine if specific courses are required.
