Starting this fall semester, a new Paleontology Minor is available to Ohio University undergraduates interested in fossils and ancient life.
The Paleontology Minor provides a broad overview of the discipline of paleontology for students interested in developing additional training in fossil identification and interpretation, sedimentary systems, and the history of life on Earth. Students can select from a set of courses that investigate various aspects of ancient life and the environments ancient organisms inhabited.
The Paleontology Minor, Offered by the Department of Geological Sciences, can be completed with a minimum of 19 credit hours and is an excellent addition to degrees in biology, anthropology, and science education—or for fossil enthusiasts in any degree program. A minor in paleontology can greatly benefit students who wish to pursue graduate school or careers in paleontology, education, or museum studies.
