ACADEMIC MAP (Effective Summer 2018 and after)

This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The General Education and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area and multicultural requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Off-track) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive

semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.

Note 3: Credits for Natural Science Lab courses will count towards the General Education Elective and/or the 24 Hour Elective Block.

Note 4: Credits earned by taking CGS 1060 are split between the General Education Elective and/or the 24 Hour Elective Block.

Note S: Effective Fall 2014 Foreign Language is an AA degree graduation requirement AND for admission to the baccalaureate. Requirement is 8 credit hours or equivalent. Students can satisfy requirement with proof of proficiency via CLEP or two consecutive years of successful, foreign language completion in high school. A student whose native language is not English is exempt, provided the student demonstrates proficiency in his/her native language. Students who must take foreign language at MDC may take it during any term. However, this may necessitate moving other required courses to a later term(s). Credits earned by taking a Foreign Language course are split between the General Education Elective and/or the 24 Hour Elective Block.

A third area of emphasis is environmental problems, both natural events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and floods, and human· made problems such as oil spills, ecosystem degradation and soil erosion. The Department of Earth and Environment has well-equipped facilities that allow students to understand the Earth and its environments and to prepare for professions with environmental, geoscientific and natural resource orientations.

Geoscience Programs The Department offers a Bachelor of Sciences degree program in Geosciences with a choice of majors in the Geological Sciences or Atmospheric Sciences. These majors have been designed to prepare students to gain professional credentials such as the State of Florida Professional Geologlst certification or the American Meteorological Society certification. A broader based, interdisciplinary Bachelor of Arts program in Earth Sciences is also offered, including a major in Earth Science Education which leads to teacher certification in Florida. Also available are Minors in Geology and Meteorology. A grade of "C" or better is required for all required courses in the major and/or minor.

Combined BS/MS in Geosciences The combined BS/MS degree program in Geosciences allows qualified students to earn both degrees in a shorter amount of time than typically required for earning degrees sequentially. The accelerated program is designed for highly qualified undergraduate students in the Earth Sciences, allowing them to complete their MS degree within approximately 2.5 years after starting their second year.

To be considered for admission to the combined bachelor's/master's degree program, students must have completed at least 75-90 credits in the bachelor's degree program at FIU and meet the admissions criteria for the graduate degree program to which they are applying. Students need only apply once to the combined degree program, but the application must be submitted to Graduate Admissions before the student starts the last 30 credits of the bachelor's degree program. A student admitted to the combined degree program will be considered to have undergraduate status until the student applies for graduation from their bachelor's degree program. Upon conferral of the bachelor's degree, the student will be granted graduate status and be eligible for graduate assistantships. Only 5000-levet or higher courses, and no more than the number of credits specified by the program catalog, may be applied toward both degrees.

Admission Requirements

• Current enrollment in the Bachelor of Science program in Geosciences at FIU.

• Completed at least 90 credits of coursework (including UCC).

, Minimum GPA of 3.2. • Official GRE scores. • Three letters of recommendation. , Approval by the Earth Sciences Graduate Committee.

General Requirements

, Meet the requirements of both the BS and MS degree in Geosciences.

, Overlap: Up to 3 courses (9 credits) may be used in satisfying both the BS and MS degree requirements, which must be at the 5000-level or higher.

courses with a GPA of at least 3.5; 6 hours must be at the 3000 level or above.

, An overall GPA of 3.5 or higher in 3000 and 4000 level classes. Exceptions to these criteria may be granted in special cases through appeal to the Earth and Environment Undergraduate Committee.

Application to the program Is made by submission of the Honors In Geosciences/Earth Sciences Admission Form to the Earth and Environment Undergraduate Committee. This is usually done in the semester before the student intends to begin the Honors thesis research.

Graduation Requirements

, A minimum GPA of 3.5 in courses in 3000 and 4000 level classes.

, Completion of all the B.S. requirements in Geosciences or B.A. requirements in Earth Sciences, including GL Y 4989L (Honors Research, 3 credits) and GL Y 4970 (Honors Thesis, 3 credits). Completion of Honors research in collaboration with Honors supervisor and presentation of a draft of the Honors thesis to the Earth and Environment Undergraduate Committee.

, Deposition of a completed approved copy of the Honors thesis with the Earth and Environment office.

Minor in Geology

The Department offers a Bachelor of Sciences degree program in Environmental Studies with a choice of majors in Agricultural Sciences and another in Natural Resources Sciences. These majors have been designed to provide students with broad academic knowledge and experience to pursue careers in the environmental professions of in sustainable agriculture. The Bachelor of Arts degree in Sustainability and the Environment Is an interdisciplinary degree covering the varied aspects of environmental sustainability. Since sustainability encompasses many areas of academic interest, students are encouraged to also pursue elective studies in areas that will complement the B.A. degree. The Department also offers a Minor in Environmental Studies. A grade of "C" or better is required for all required courses in the major and minor as well as for the Undergraduate Certificate in Envi'.9nmef!!!!.I Studies. .. ,. ... --- .......... .., .. / ... _~··' -.___

Students admitted to the university are admitted directly to their chosen major. Students are expected to make good progress based on critical indicators, such as GPA in specific courses or credits earned. In cases where students are not making good progress, a change of major may be required. Advisors work to redirect students to more appropriate majors when critical indicators are not met.
