Additional Coursework
Evidence of coursework (or equivalent academic or professional experiences) in the following areas is also required. Please note that single courses may satisfy multiple areas, if evidence can be provided and approved (e.g. a course that substantially addresses both the areas of Physical Geology and Geological Laboratory Techniques). Independent Studies and/or Junior / Senior Seminars that substantially address any of these areas may also be submitted for potential approval. Professional and/or research experiences in these areas may also be considered (e.g. work as a Land Surveyor may be considered substantial coverage in one or more of these areas).
