Geology major requirements Geology major (14 courses): The geology major consists of 14 courses which include two electives. The major is based on a foundation of courses in the traditional natural sciences. All students must take courses in chemistry, physics and mathematics. The required courses in geology provide an overview of the basic fields of study in geology such as mineralogy, petrology, structural geology, hydrogeology and surficial processes. All geology courses include a laboratory component. In addition, all geology majors are required to attend a summer geology field camp (typically 6-8 weeks long), usually taken between the junior and senior years of undergraduate study. The performance of all geology majors at field camp and those majors who complete a senior thesis is used to assess the overall success of the discipline and its graduates.
