Geologists use a variety of mathematical and scientific concepts and techniques.
Many geologists work outdoors most of the time. Most students go into the General Geology option which offers flexibility in the curriculum at the upper division level and encourages undergraduate research. A student who completes any of the geology options is employable in a variety of fields and is well prepared for graduate work in geology. Expect to Take Chemistry, physics, computer science, calculus, statistics, field courses, and field trips. High School Track Chemistry, physics, mathematics, and outdoor-oriented activities.
