 THE MAJOR: Students pursuing a major in
 Geology may follow ONE of the following courses of
 study:
 Bachelor of Arts: Designed for those students who
 do not intend to pursue careers as professional geolo-
 gists, but who do desire training in the geological sci-
 ences preparatory to pursuing advanced studies or
 careers in fields such as earth science teaching, law,
 business, or other socio-environmental areas of study.
 In addition to college and university requirements for
 graduation, students pursuing the Bachelor of Arts
 degree must complete the following core geology
 courses: GLY 2010C or 2991C, GLY 2100C, GLY 3200C,
 GLY 3220L, GLY 4301C, GLY 4400C, GLY 4500C and
 GLY 4610C. Credit for a summer field course or three
 additional geology courses at the 4000 level or above
 (to include GLY 4155) and ENC 3250 (3 hours) is also
 required. In addition, at least 12 semester hours from
 among the following courses must be satisfactorily
 completed: AST 1002, CHM 1020 and 1021, ENV 3000,
 GEO 4201C, GEO 4124C, MET 1010, PHY 2004, 2004L,
 SOS 3022C, and BSC 2010. Specific courses selected
 will depend upon the area of interest of the student.
 Bachelor of Science: To meet the minimum require-
 ments for a B.S. in Geology, the student must satisfy
 all College and University graduation requirements as
 well as the following departmental course require-
 ments. 1) Credit in the following core courses or their


equivalents: GLY 2010C or GLY 2991C, GLY 2100C,
GLY 3200C, GLY 3220L, GLY 4310C, GLY 4400C, GLY
4500C, GLY 4610C, and GLY 4790. 2) Two courses at
the 4000 level or above as approved by the undergrad-
uate adviser. 3) One year of general chemistry (CHM
2040, 2041, 2045L, 2046L) or (CHM 2045, 2045L, 2046
or 2046L), or (CHM 2050, 2045L, 2051, 2046L). 4) One
year of general physics (PHY 3040, 3041, 3055L,
3056L) or (PHY 2004, 2004L, 2005, 2005L). 5)
Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science (MAC
3311, 3312) or (MAC 3311, COP 3110 or CAP 3802,
STA 3023). 6) Technical Writing (ENC 3250). 7) A bio-
logical science course (ZOO 3203C) may be substitut-
ed for the second semester of physics. Specific courses
selected among the alternatives given will depend
upon the student's primary geologic interest.Students
considering an undergraduate major in geology are
urged to contact the undergraduate coordinator, room
B129 Turlington Hall, as early as possible for program
counseling.
 HONORS: For graduation with honors a student
must attain a 3.5 overall upper-division average. For
high honors students will, in addition, complete two
semester of GLY 4905, individual work, for 3 credits
each semester with a grade of B or higher. The student
must prepare an abstract and thesis to be approved by
the student's research adviser who recommends the
student to the Department of Geology for honors. The
thesis must contain experimental results with discus-
sion. For highest honors the student must have an
average of 3.7 or higher in all upper level courses and
the requirements as listed for high honors.
 THE MINOR: A total of 17 hours of Geology are
 required. A minimum of 9 hours must be completed
 at the University of Florida and 9 hours must be at the
 junior level or higher. No more than 1 hour of inde-
 pendent study will be accepted. All courses must be at
 a grade of C or better. The following core courses are
 required: GLY 2010C or 2991C or 2026 and GLY
 2100C. Nine additional hours may be selected from:

 4400C, GLY 4415C, GLY 4500, GLY 4610C, GLY 4700,
 GLY 4800, and GLY 5820.
 It is recommended that all students planning to
 minor in Geology consult with the department under-
 graduate adviser.

 OVERSEAS STUDY: Students interested in
 study abroad should consult with a department advis-
 er or the Overseas Study office in 123 Tigert.

 GENERAL EDUCATION: Courses designated
 with a (P) will count toward the Physical Science
 requirement of General Education.
