Honors-in-Discipline

ETSU Department of Geosciences

The Honors-in-Discipline (HiD) program in the Department of Geosciences is designed to provide an enhanced educational program of study for your major in Geosciences (with concentration in Geospatial Sciences, Geology and Environment, Paleontology and Geography).  To ensure the quality of the program, only a limited number of spaces are available. Scholarships are limited, all students selected for the program will be considered for honors scholarships, as they become available from the Honors College.

The Geosciences HiD program focuses on student learning through original research. Our Honors students work with a diverse group of professors, graduate students and researchers to discuss research opportunities, and become involved in their own researches. Our HiD students participate in scientific professional conferences and present their work with peers and faculty supervisors.
