BS Geospatial Technology and Urban Planning
Geospatial Technology and Urban Planning
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.

Milestones: All geography and geology classes must be completed with a C or better. Overall GPA of at least 2.0. Begin to develop a career plan with your faculty advisor. NOTE: Except for thesis classes (GEOG 4860, 4861, and 4862), most upper-level (3000-4000 numbered) geosciences classes are taught on a two-year rotation. If year 3 is an even-numbered year, then the upper-level geoscinces classes for the third and fourth years will need to be interchanged (Except the Thesis classes).
*Suggested Electives: GEOG 1100, GEOG 1101, GEOG 1102, and GEOG 1105
