(1-3 credits)Prerequisites: Permission of department chair is required. The Cooperative Education agreement seeks to build partnerships between ETSU, students, and area geoscience industry and service providers. This course will give partial credit toward a capstone thesis, on a project to be mutually agreed upon by Geology faculty and a geoscience industrial group, which will result in the student working for a year on a 6-credit-hour project that produces a thesis. The student will enroll in GEOL 4989 for the spring semester of the project.
