This program requires summer terms.
Degree: Bachelor of Geoengineering
The mission of the geoengineering program comprises three overlapping and mutually supportive components:
* Prepare students to become productive engineers and contributing members of their professional community.
* Prepare students for continual learning and professional development.
* Prepare students for formal advanced education.
The program has four core objectives:
1. Produce graduates with a strong fundamental scientific and technical knowledge base and critical thinking skills required for engineering problem formulation and problem solving.
2. Produce graduates with the ability to work as professional team members. This includes the ability to communicate effectively through both oral and written language.
3. Produce graduates with an understanding of their obligations as professional geological engineers to protect human health, welfare, and the environment.
4. Ensure that graduates have had opportunities to complement their academic studies with scholarly (research) investigations, co-ops, and internships.
Program Delivery
This program is available:
via classroom (the majority of instruction is face-to-face)
Admission Requirements
Students must complete
10 courses
before admission to the program.
Freshman and transfer students are usually admitted to pre-major status
before admission to this major.
All students in baccalaureate degree programs are required to complete general University and college requirements including writing and liberal education courses. For more information about University-wide requirements, see the
liberal education requirements.
Required courses for the major, minor or certificate in which a student receives a D grade (with or without plus or minus) do not count toward the major, minor or certificate (including transfer courses).

Program Sub-plans
A sub-plan is not required for this program.
Honors UHP
This is an honors sub-plan.
Students admitted to the University Honors Program (UHP) must fulfill UHP requirements, in addition to degree program requirements. Honors courses used to fulfill degree program requirements will also fulfill UHP requirements.
Current departmental honors course offerings are listed at: http://www.honors.umn.edu/academics/curriculum/dept_courses_current.html.
Honors students complete an honors thesis project in the final year, most often in conjunction with an honors thesis course, or with an honors directed studies, or honors directed research course. Students select honors courses and plan for a thesis project in consultation with their UHP adviser and their departmental faculty adviser.
