Our program is located in the Center for Earth and Environmental Science and, in addition to the standard suite of geology offerings, students have available to them courses such as Remote Sensing, Environmental Engineering, Environmental Technology, Geographic Information Systems, Environmental Chemistry, etc. Each of our degree programs provides a solid foundation in geology and has its own particular focus. This applied program provides students the opportunity to focus their studies upon the physical dimensions of the environment and includes options for the study of hydrology. A broad based, liberal arts, degree program for students interested in studying about the physical world.
Flexibility is the distinguishing feature of the programs in geology.
The curriculum requires basic courses in geology which provide the background for later and more specialized study. Each of the programs offered has a distinctive structure and orientation. Close cooperation between the student and faculty allows for the programs to be tailored to meet the skills and goals of each undergraduate. Students work closely with the faculty to select those advanced courses that best meet their future plans whether in industry, government, consulting or graduate school. Individual work with the faculty is a key element in our programs.
