Bachelor of Arts in Geology
The B.A. degree is designed for students planning professional
careers in the geosciences and for those preparing to incorporate
geosciences into boader careers such as teaching, resoruce
management, environmental planning, business, or law. The B.A.
degree may be an appropriate prerequisite for some master's
degree programs, but a B.S. is generally recommended for those in
geology. Election of the B.A. major will allow students to choose
supporting courses form disciplines as diverse as anthropology,
environmental studies, or geography.
Students who declare a major in geology must register with the
department and work out a specific program of studies with the
chairperson or an assigned advisor. Course programs can be
tailored to the student's needs and interests with the aid of an
academic advisor. Other requirements may be modified in cases
where past performance indicates superior ability.
The details of class requirements and electives are detailed
in the CWU
Catalog. You can find the material for this degree
by the following steps:
- Choose the catalog for the appropriate year
- Click on "Programs" on the left navigation bar
- Scroll down to the Geological Sciences Department listing
- Then click on "Geology Major, B.S. and B.A."
The Online Electronic Catalog (OEC) is the university's official
compilation for all curriculum. The OEC serves as the basis for major,
minor, specialization, certificate, and program requirements for the
academic year. For current policy and curriculum requirements refer to
the CWU online catalog at http://www.cwu.edu/~catalogs.
You may choose
the catalog that is appropriate for your program requirements, based on
the quarter that you were accepted into your program. Some students may
be using more than one catalog to meet general education and major
requirements.
A student should expect to meet the specific requirements of the

accepted by the department into the major or minor program. Graduate
students admitted to the master*s degree program may use the catalog
they are admitted under or the current one. A student should expect to
complete general education requirements as listed in the OEC current at
the time of first enrollment at either Central or a community college in
the state of Washington provided he or she transfers directly to CWU
from the community college and has not attended another four-year
institution.
