Abstract
The normal geology major of 24 to 30 semester hours in the small liberal-arts college is not adequate preparation for graduate study. For many students the price of their liberal education is an extra semester of graduate school if they are to compete equally with graduate students who have had more undergraduate geology courses in a large university. The small department cannot offer more courses; but it might be able to integrate its courses, and by doing so present more material at a more advanced level in the same length of time. Integration of the following courses into 3 one-year units is suggested: (1) crystallography, optical crystallography, mineralogy, and petrography; (2) sedimentation, paleontology, and stratigraphy; (3) structural, field, and regional geology.
