3 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 1060Intro to Field Methods in Geoscience3
This hands-on field course offers a unique opportunity to explore the natural world through the lens of geology, focusing on the observation and interpretation of landscapes, rock formations, and earth processes in the field. Students learn basic skills such as how to read topographic and geologic maps, use GPS and other specialized field equipment, and record observations of geological features. Through field trips and outdoor exploration, students apply techniques to gain a deeper appreciation for the Earth’s dynamic systems. Students must be able to hike several miles on uneven terrain and in inclement weather.Course Fees: $300.00
Students identify common minerals and rocks and explain how igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks form. Students acquire scientific knowledge about the movement of crustal plates, interior Earth processes, and external Earth processes including water cycles and resources. Students use geologists’ techniques and methods in the pursuit of scientific inquiry.Course Fees: $15.00
Completion of ENGL 0810 and MATH 0900 or equivalent placement.
GEOL 1200History of Earth4
Students learn to infer geologic history through careful study of fossils, rocks, and geologic structures. Students examine the theory of the origin of life, organic evolution, plate tectonics, and the evolution of Earth’s continents, oceans, and climate. Students use geologists’ techniques and methods in the pursuit of scientific inquiry.Course Fees: $75.00
