Students will gain experience in geological cartographic techniques, be able to identify the major minerals and rocks (in the laboratory and the field), and gain practice in geological field techniques. The electives provide an opportunity to explore a wide range of aspects of earth science. Research opportunities in geology and paleontology are available.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to students using the Earth Science minor for middle school science or high school earth science certification, the Earth Science minor can also be used to access employment opportunities in the environmental and geological consulting sector (which is thriving in New Jersey), by providing geological skills beyond those acquired within the Environmental Science &amp; Studies majors, as well as opening doors to studying the geosciences in graduate school.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"collapsableContent\" tabindex=\"0\" type=\"button\"><div class=\"collapsableTitle\">Requirements of the Minor <\/div>\n<ol>\n<li>Students are required to take 5 courses (20 credits) to complete this minor.<\/li>\n<li>At least 1\/2 of the courses fulfilling a minor must be distinct from the student\u2019s major. That is, three of the five courses required for a minor cannot be used towards fulfillment of major requirements. A school core does not need to be completed for a minor. Minors are open to students regardless of school affiliation.<\/li>\n<li>Not all courses are offered each semester.
