The Geology Department at Hanover College has a long history dating back to 1886, making it the oldest earth science department in the state. Geology courses are supported by equipment and facilities necessary for advanced study and research.
Faculty members focus on teaching and student research but also conduct research of their own.
Together, these characteristics make the geology program at Hanover exceptionally strong. Students at Hanover may take one or two geology courses to satisfy their general degree requirements, or they may choose to design an earth science major or minor to suit their individual needs. A geology major will prepare Hanover students for traditional geology professions, for a profession in the rapidly expanding environmental field, or for advanced studies at a major university. Whatever their choice, Hanover students are well-prepared for the future by the Geology Department and the liberal arts tradition of Hanover College.
