On-Campus Programs Undergraduates in our department are valued members of our community. Five to ten students per year present research results at national and regional meetings of professional geological organizations. The department also offers graduate programs leading to the MA, MS and PhD degrees.
Graduate students are integral members of our research teams.
Last year, undergraduate and graduate students went to Death Valley, the Guadaloupe Mountains, Costa Rica, and the Bahamas as part of courses. In addition, individual students participated in independent research projects in Ohio, Wyoming, Alaska, Turkey and Pakistan. The Wayne D. Martin Field Fund helps defray costs of these off-campus activities. Our Students Our students have a strong love of the earth which is seen in their interest in outdoor activities such as camping, biking, hiking, swimming, caving, etc. The Geology Department maintains vigorous research programs in many areas of geological study.
