Geography

Dear Geosciences Major:

This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed below each year are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. A sample schedule is provided as a general guideline to help you build a schedule each term. Your courses must be selected with your advisor to satisfy all core curriculum and state, lab science, and multicultural requirements. Refer to the Undergraduate Catalog for the most current curriculum.

FYSE (3 hr) can substitute for 3 hours of PERS. The 4th hour of PERS is waived (a student does not have to take any PERS courses), but because USG requires 120 hours to earn a bachelor’s degree, that 1 hour is moved to general electives.

NOTE: Except for Thesis classes (GEOG 4860, 4861, and 4862), most upper-level (3000-4000 numbered) geoscience classes are taught on a two-year rotation. If Year 3 is an even-numbered year, then the upper-level geoscience classes for the third and fourth years will need to be interchanged EXCEPT the Thesis classes; keep those in the same sequence.
