Undergraduate Programs: Minors
Within the College of Arts and Sciences at Western Michigan University, we offer a two-tiered advising system for undergraduates. Students receive major/minor specific advising through the faculty or staff expertise within the department and general advising regarding university and general education requirements as well as pre-professional advising through the College's advising office located in 2318 Friedmann Hall (http://www.wmich.edu/cas/advising/). As a student with a major within the College of Arts and Sciences, I understand that I need to meet regularly with both a departmental and college advisor to ensure I have met all requirements for graduation.
Group Science Minor for Geology Majors
Geology Minor
The geology minor is designed as a supporting minor for students preparing to do professional work in the fields of chemistry, physics, engineering, zoology, botany and geography. It cannot be combined with earth science as a major-minor or double minor relationship. A student may design a geology minor for their specific needs.
