If you are willing to commit the two weeks in May to GEO 320L (for non-majors), you can pick up three hours of science by going hiking around Central Texas. The prerequisite is not strictly enforced, if a student hasn’t taken a Geology class before they should just email Dr. Cloos, but it’s most likely fine. The pass/fail aspect is actually ok too, as this course is the exception to that rule. See the attached flyer for more details: geo-320l-course-description
