GEOL

5 courses with the subject GEOL, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.

GEOL 101Physical Geology 4:3:3

Studies the composition of the earth and the physical processes which tend to alter and shape its surface. Laboratory sessions include field trips through central and eastern Pennsylvania, the identification of common rocks and minerals, and the study and interpretation of topographic and geologic maps. A course fee is required. (SCI/LAB)

GEOL 102Historical Geology 4:3:3

Examines the geologic history of the earth. This course specifically covers the development of plant and animal life through geologic time and the development of various rock formations, as well as studies the past, present, and possible future environments of man and the integration of geologic findings with those of other sciences. Several field trips through central and eastern Pennsylvania are taken as part of the laboratory experiences. A course fee is required. (SCI/LAB)
