The Geology program continues to operate smoothly with repeated successes and highlights seen in previous years. Some of these include scholarships to professional meetings, book awards, and professional publications and presentations by some students. We are working to make the requirements for obtaining an associate's degree more efficient. |

The annual number of graduates is low. This biggest hurdle has been the math requirements. We are working to make these more flexible.
The number of declared majors is slightly down. Making the math requirements more flexible and adding some additional program-approved electives may help with this.
There are not data for most of the targets listed above, but some of our results may suggest a change in teaching approach. |
