- Geology - The POE sought by the individual wanting to pursue a career as a practicing geologist, or who is graduate school bound. The right course of training for those wanting eventual State Certification as a Professional Geologist.
- Earth and Space Science/Secondary Education - designed for those wishing to teach geology, earth science [geology, astronomy, oceanography & meteorology] at the secondary school level.
- Many students write a combined POE that emphasizes Geology and Environmental Science.
