Catalog August 2009 - August 2010 Undergraduate
and Graduate
To earn this 32-unit degree, which includes completing a thesis, take:
GLG 505 and 506 (2 units)
24 units selected in consultation with your research committee to reflect breadth in subject matter
(All of your coursework may be in geology, or you may include a graduate minor in a related field.)
6 units of GLG 699, for the research, writing, and oral defense of an approved thesis
(Please note that only 6 units of thesis credit count toward your degree. However, master's students in geology average 12-14 thesis units because you must register for GLG 699 each semester while you are working on your thesis.)
