University Senate of
Proposal
13-94
Atmospheric Science Option in the B.S. in Geology Degree
The changes required to initiate the proposed option are described in the attached pages from the Department of Geological Engineering, Geology and Geophysics. Please contact the Senate Office for a copy of the attached pages.
The following statement was supplied by the Department of Geological Engineering, Geology and Geophysics.
"This change is proposed to allow another sequence of planned electives for students in the Environmental Geology option of the B.S. program in Geology. Presently, the program has two approved sequences, one in Geohydrology and one in Geochemistry. We propose adding a new option, consisting of eighteen credits of environmental specialty electives from a sequence called "Atmospheric Science."
"The addition of this planned elective sequence is being done now, because new classes are in place to support it. Another benefit of the change is that this sequence will encourage students to head in the direction of very attractive career choices, such as those suggested by the Atmospheric Remote Sensing area."
