Upper-Division Courses--Junior standing prerequisite. All required lower-division courses in the major must be completed with a grade of "C" or better in order to
enroll in upper-division courses in the major. Some upper-division courses may be applied toward graduate degrees; consult the Graduate Studies Catalog for the
listing of these courses.
1467 Directed Study, Geophysics (0-0-1)
Directed study problems in geophysics; hours and subjects to be arranged with each student; for undergraduate students who wish to work on a special
problem. No student may receive credit for more than six hours of directed study work. Application of a directed study towards required upper
division elective hours in the major is subject to prior approval by the departmental undergraduate studies committee. Prerequisite: Instructor approval.
2467 Directed Study, Geophysics (0-0-2)
Directed study problems in geophysics; hours and subjects to be arranged with each student; for undergraduate students who wish to work on a special
problem. No student may receive credit for more than six hours of directed study work. Application of a directed study towards required upper
division elective hours in the major is subject to prior approval by the departmental undergraduate studies committee. Prerequisite: Instructor approval.
3432 Exploration Geophysics: Seismic Methods (2-3)
A detailed treatment of seismic prospecting for oil and minerals, includes principles and current practices in seismic refraction and reflection
prospecting, as well as related aspects of acoustic logging and other subsurface techniques. Prerequisites: (1) GEOL 3101-1101 or GEOL 3103, (2)
GEOL 3321, MATH 3112, PHYS 4210, and PHYS 4211, or (3) instructor approval. Laboratory fee required.
3434 Exploration Geophysics: Non-Seismic Methods (2-3)
