INTERNSHIP CREDIT
Students are encouraged to find a suitable internship experience with the Career Planning and Placement Center. Upon approval, 3 to 4 credits may be earned with an internship. These credits will be counted toward the fulfillment of major requirements (GEG 535).
HONORS THESIS
Students with an appropriate GPA are encouraged to write an honors thesis in order to graduate Magna (minimum 3.75 GPA) or Summa Cum Laude (minimum 3.90 GPA). Six credits toward the major may be earned with the honors thesis.
OVERLAPPING COURSES AMONG DUAL MAJORS
Of the coursework at the 200-level or higher in Geography and Regional Studies, no more than 6 credits may double count towards the other major.
STUDY ABROAD
Majors are strongly encouraged to study abroad for a summer, a semester, or an entire year. Study abroad at carefully selected institutions will complement the student's curriculum and area of specialization, will enhance fluency in the foreign language, and will result in heightened affinity for a foreign culture. The study abroad experience need not result in credit overloads or extended time spent in the program.
ACADEMIC STANDING
Only courses in which the grade of C- or better is attained may be counted towards the major or minor, and students must maintain a GPA of 2.0 or higher in all required courses.
For more information contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Dr. Justin Stoler, stop by the Department of Geography at the Campo Sano Building, or call 305-284-4087 to make an appointment.
