Program Overview

The science of geology spans from the core of the earth to the top of its mountain ranges, and from the atomic scale to the interplanetary. Whether you major or minor in geology, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of our planet and how it came to be through the study of rocks, water, landforms, and other features of planet Earth. You’ll complete foundational coursework in geology, as well as related subjects, like physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics. The geology program emphasizes learning in a natural setting, as well as in the classroom.

Courses offered will give you a better appreciation of the natural environment and Earth’s resources, increase your awareness of how dynamic geological events and processes affect society, and introduce you to the methodologies and reasoning used in science. You’ll be able to use the knowledge you’ve acquired to examine and solve geologic problems. You’ll become familiar with current geologic literature and how to think critically. You’ll strengthen your oral and written communication skills, enhance your observation skills, and gain robust data collection skills.

The geology curriculum readies you to enter a professional career or pursue advanced studies in the geosciences. The many subdivisions of geology cater to a variety of scientific interests, including mineralogy, petrology, sedimentology, structural geology, tectonics, and geomorphology. The geology discipline also provides the necessary background in earth science for those who plan to teach earth sciences at the secondary level, and it serves those in other programs who need geology as a related subject.
