Tennessee Tech University

The TTU Earth Sciences Department offers four concentrations within the geosciences major. Because each concentration is designed to prepare students for a different goal, a different set of core courses and directed electives is required for each one. In most cases, students can choose from a range of courses to satisfy these requirements, allowing a wide degree of flexibility in coursework. Substitutions for some courses may be allowed at the discretion of the head of the department offering the course. In addition to completing the required classes within their concentration, all students must complete TTU's General Education Core and the College of Arts and Sciences requirements.

A four year plan has been created for each concentration to meet all of the requirements for graduation. Links to these plans are included below, but please be aware that these are intended to serve as general guidelines and lists of course requirements. Course offerings vary, and you will most likely not take classes in the exact order shown. More information about general university requirements and policies can be found in the undergraduate catalog.
