Geology (B.S.)

Make a Difference

Students study the Earth's structure and the physical, chemical, biological, and geological processes that have operated on it throughout geologic time. They study the genesis of rocks and minerals, the basis of Earth's mineral, water, and energy resources. Processes that cause hazards such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, and volcanic eruptions are also studied. 
 
Geologists make a difference on the job and in their communities as they look for ways to manage Earth's limited resources and mitigate geologic hazards. Geologists are employed by resource development industries such as petroleum and mining, by federal and state government agencies, and by water and environmental consulting firms. Students are prepared for employment as an entry-level geologic technician or for graduate studies in geology.
