Abstract
Recently I surveyed geoscience departments with graduate programs to determine the courses required of entering graduate students. At least 50 percent of the respondent institutions require or recommend physical geology, historical geology, structural geology, mineralogy (hand-specimen), petrology (hand specimen), optical mineralogy, igneous and metamorphic petrology, sedimentary petrology, field geology, invertebrate paleontology, and sedimentology and stratigraphy. Geomorphology, geophysics and geochemistry are required or recommended by a somewhat smaller percentage of institutions. Two semesters of calculus, physics and chemistry were required by more than two-thirds of the respondents.
