A maximum of 54 credit hours may be taken by a major in GES. All students must take an exit exam before graduation, and have a C or above grade in all GES courses. Departmental Honors
The Department of Geography and Environmental Studies offers honors for students who have demonstrated high academic achievement. In order to be considered for departmental honors, a student must:
- Have an overall CU CPA of 3.0 or better.
- Have a 3.5 or better GPA in GES courses.
- First select a faculty advisor to mentor your project. If student GPA is between 3.0 and 3.5, you must have a research proposal accepted by the majority of GES faculty. If GPA is above 3.5, only the advisor need approve the proposal. Students then pick two other faculty committee members. The committee will give an oral exam on the research project upon completion.
- Enroll in GES 4970 (Honors in Geography).
The level of honors will be decided by the committee after the completed of these requirements. Three levels of honors are available: Distinction, High Distinction, and Highest Distinction. |
