Geology

Specialization in Geology

Geology is the study of our earth and its history - it provides new understanding of our physical environment, resources and our place in its evolution. Of interest to those that would like to apply principles from other sciences, mathematics and engineering to understand the world we live in. Outdoor studies of rocks in the field are an integral part of geological studies.

NOTE: Participation in a recognized geology summer field camp is strongly recommended for all majors (B.A. and B.S.). Most Earth Science graduate programs in the United States require that a field course be completed.

• Experience with a modern scientific computing language is essential.
  
  

• The requirements for the major are considered minimal. Students planning careers in the
  earth sciences should take additional course work according to the geoscience emphasis
  that best fits their goals. Consult a faculty adviser for suggestions.
