Additional Requirements

Any 300-400 level courses: Reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of GIS&T, students work with academic advisors in selecting courses from geography and/or other academic programs to meet students’ career orientation and development, and to fulfill the University of Tennessee’s general requirements to earn a bachelor’s degree (e.g., a minimum of 120 credit hours). The number of additional credit hours depend upon the overlap among general education courses, prerequisite courses, and core courses.
