Description
Geology is an interdisciplinary science that integrates a range of fields including geology, physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics with modern technologies in the study of Earth’s processes, environments and history. NOTE: All Geology Major Requirement courses and their prerequisite courses must be passed with a grade of “C” or greater; “C-” or lower is not acceptable. Because of the significant amount of common interdisciplinary coursework, students having their major within the Department of Geological Sciences and Engineering may not also have a minor from within the Department.

Transfer to Nevada
Use the transfer agreement and the degree planner (available by clicking  at the top right of this page) to build your plan for graduation with your advisor. Course substitutions not identified on the transfer agreement require UNR advisor approval.
If a major-to-major transfer agreement is not available for your transfer institution, please check the General Core agreement if available. If neither is available, access established transfer course equivalencies to assist in your planning.
