GEH is an accredited geological engineering program offered jointly by the Departments of Geological Sciences and Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering .
Scholarships are available for new and transfer students.
The GEH program focuses on preparing undergraduates for careers that deal with many of today's most pressing environmental concerns requiring expertise in a broad range of disciplines from both science and engineering. Companies in these fields have expressed a strong need for such graduates from The University of Texas. This degree has a four year course curriculum with a unique mixture of hydrology, geology, chemistry, petroleum, civil and environmental engineering. They emphasize the underlying science and engineering required to cope with the complexity of environmental concerns relating to ground water conservation and restoration. This degree provides a balanced approach to theory, laboratory investigations, and field work with applications to engineering and geohydrology that will help solve real-world problems in energy and mineral development and the management of the natural environment.
