Major programs are offered by the Department of Earth Science in two baccalaureate areas: the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Science. The Bachelor of Science program is recommended for most students who wish to prepare for careers as professional geologists and who plan to enter graduate school in geology. The Bachelor of Arts Degree--Geology Major provides a wider choice of electives than the Bachelor of Science Degree--Geology Major. With the appropriate choice of electives, the B.A. geology program can meet the needs of students preparing for additional study in selected fields of geology, paleontology, and related earth science areas. The B.A. Earth Science Major--Teaching is designed to prepare secondary earth science teachers. A B.A. earth science program is also available as a liberal arts major.

1. To graduate with a major in economics a student must:

   a) complete 920:053, 920:054, 920:103, and 920:104 with at least a C- in each course whether taken at UNI or at an institution from which transfer credit for these courses is accepted; and
   b) earn a 2.50 grade point average for all 920:xxx courses taken at UNI, except 920:020, 920:024, and 920:070.

2. 920:020 and 920:070 count toward an economics major only in the business emphasis and do not count toward the minor.
3. 920:024 does not count toward the economics major or minor.
4. 920:053 and 920:054 are minimum prerequisites for all 100g courses.
5. It is recommended that 920:103 and 920:104 be taken before other advanced courses in economics.
6. Not more than one emphasis may be declared in economics.

The Economics Department may impose additional admission requirements for students wishing to declare a minor or a second CBA major. Eligibility to declare a minor or a second CBA major is based on competitive GPA and space availability. Students may obtain a copy of these requirements from the Advising and Student Services Office (CBB 321B) in the College of Business Administration.

3. Business Analysis (39 hours)

Students who select this emphasis must satisfy the College of Business Administration (CBA) admission requirements before they can officially declare their major. A copy of the Admission, Retention, and Graduation Policy may be obtained from the Advising and Student Services Office in the College of Business Administration. Prior to completion of the admission requirements, students may sign an intent to major in Economics/Business Analysis and be classified as a prospective (pre)major. Pre-Economics/Business Analysis majors may enroll in lower division (below 100) business courses only. Enrollment in upper division (100-level) business courses requires satisfactory completion of the CBA admission requirements and any course prerequisites.

Economics/Business Analysis majors may declare a double major, and/or major and minor within the College of Business Administration, subject to the regulations of those CBA departments affected. Economics/Business Analysis majors minoring within the CBA must select minors designated for business majors.

To graduate with an Economics/Business Analysis major from the College of Business Administration, a student must earn at least 50% of the business credit hours required for the major at UNI. Students must take at least 50% of the course work required for the degree outside the College of Business Administration. Up to nine hours of economics (excluding 920:020), and six hours of statistics may be counted as outside the College of Business Administration. A student must also complete 920:053, 920:054, 920:103, and 920:104 with at least a C- in each course whether taken at UNI or an institution from which transfer credit for these courses is accepted; must earn a 2.20 cumulative grade point average at UNI; must earn an overall 2.20 grade point average in 120:xxx, 130:xxx, 150:xxx, 160:xxx, and 920:xxx courses taken at UNI; and earn a 2.50 or better, in all 920:xxx courses taken at UNI excluding 920:020, 920:024, and 920:070. Students given permission to graduate out-of-residence must earn a 2.20 or better in all courses approved and accepted for out-of-residence credit.

Note: Students majoring in Finance and/or Real Estate must satisfy the College of Business Administration (CBA) admission requirements before they can officially declare their major. A copy of the Admission, Retention, and Graduation Policy may be obtained from the Advising and Student Services Office in the College of Business Administration. Prior to completion of the admission requirements, students may sign an intent to major in Finance or Real Estate and be classified as a prospective (pre)major. Pre-Finance and Pre-Real Estate majors may enroll in lower division (below 100) business courses only. Enrollment in upper division (100-level) business courses requires satisfactory completion of the CBA admission requirements and any course prerequisites.

Finance and Real Estate majors may declare a double major, and/or major and minor within the College of Business Administration, subject to the approval of the other CBA departments involved. Finance and Real Estate majors minoring within the CBA must select minors designated for business majors. Finance majors cannot minor in Financial Services, and Real Estate majors cannot minor in Real Estate. However, Finance majors may double major or minor in Real Estate, and Real Estate majors may double major in Finance or minor in Financial Services.

To graduate with a major in Finance or Real Estate from the College of Business Administration, a student must earn at least 50% of the business credit hours required for the major at UNI. Students must take at least 50% of the course work required for the degree outside the College of Business Administration. Up to nine hours of economics (excluding 920:020), and six hours of statistics may be counted as outside the College of Business Administration. A student must earn a 2.20 cumulative grade point average at UNI; and must earn an overall 2.20 grade point average in 120:xxx, 130:xxx, 150:xxx, 160:xxx, and 920:xxx courses taken at UNI. Students given permission to graduate out-of-residence must earn a 2.20 or better in all courses approved and accepted for out-of-residence credit.

The Finance Department may impose additional admission requirements for students wishing to declare a minor or a second CBA major. Eligibility to declare a minor or a second CBA major is based on competitive GPA and space availability. Students may obtain a copy of these requirements from the Advising and Student Services Office (CBB 321B) in the College of Business Administration.
