Geography and Geology MinorsAcademic minors are offered in geography (18 hours) and in geology (18 hours). At least nine of the hours needed for the minor must be taken at UMKC. The minor programs are sufficiently flexible to enable students with diverse backgrounds to choose relevant coursework from the department's offerings. The programs are structured to ensure that students gain an appreciation of the breadth of the minor field. The minor should be declared as early as possible, but not later than the beginning of the student's senior year. Up to eight hours of coursework may simultaneously count in both the major and minor areas, where applicable. This applies to departmental and non-departmental students.
