B.S. in Geology - Environmental and Engineering Geology

California State University - San Bernardino

The B.S. in Geology, General Geology Concentration is recommended for students planning to continue to graduate school or to other careers in the geosciences. This Concentration has more flexibility to allow the student to tailor electives to pursue a particular interest.The B.S. in Geology, Environmental Geology Concentration is recommended for students planning to become professional geologists in the environmental, geotechnical, government service, petroleum, or mining areas, and to prepare for Professional Licensure.Geology majors must earn a grade of "C-" (1.7) or better in all required geology courses for those courses to satisfy the degree requirements for a B.S. degree in Geology. Students may not earn credit for both concentrations. The B.S. in Geology + M.S. in Geology provides an accelerated pathway to the completion of the graduate degree by allowing undergraduate students to take 7-8 units of graduate level coursework while in undergraduate status. These graduate level units will double count toward both the undergraduate and graduate degree requirements. Admission to the B.S. in Geology + M.S. in Geology is open only to students who have a cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or an average GPA of 3.0 in undergraduate coursework in Geological Sciences completed at the time of the application. Students who have a lower GPA than 3.0 may still apply and will be evaluated based on the strength of their other supporting materials. Furthermore, students who do not maintain a 3.0 GPA upon completion of the B.S. in Geological Sciences will not be permitted to move to graduate status and will graduate with the B.S. Admission must be approved by the Department of Geological Sciences following the C.A.P.E Scholars Program policies and procedures (Coyote Accelerated Postbaccalaureate Education).
