Graduation Requirements
-
To graduate in any of the earth and atmospheric science majors, a student must have an average grade point index of 2.00 or above in earth and atmospheric science courses required for the major. This requirement applies to students who enrolled in their EAS major after the Fall Semester of 2001.
Your electives (EAS, Science/Engineering/Agriculture, General Education, and Free Electives) and your EAS major courses (including the summer geology field camp for the Geology and Teaching majors) must add up to 32 hours of courses numbered 30000 and above to meet University graduation requirements.
All College of Science students must earn a total of 124 credit hours of approved courses to graduate.
