The minor in geophysics is designed to provide adequate training for professional work or graduate school in geophysics in the broad sense. No more than 10 credits from the geophysics minor may be used to double count with a major. The requirements for the geophysics minor are a minimum of 22 credits, including at least one semester each of geology, mathematics and physics, distributed as follows:
|
Introductory Course: 4 Credit Hours
Choose one of the following pairs: Required Courses: 15 Credit Hours
Elective Courses: 3-4 Credit Hours
