Geologists are employed in the oil and mining industries, government agencies and with geological and environmental consulting firms. I have another year of high school. Any classes in math, sciences and English will help prepare you for an undergraduate geology major. At 7200' above sea level, Laramie is semi-arid and smogless. Summer and early fall can be quite warm with cool nights.
Winters are sunny, marked by long cold periods and punctuated by mild stretches.
While we do get snow, it generally accumulates only in the nearby mountains. As with many other areas in the Rocky Mountain region, the high plains are home to strong winds that can occur during any season. All transfer work has to be evaluated on an individual basis. The Registrar's office has the final word on transferring courses, but if you want an unofficial analysis on geology courses, consult our academic coordinator. If at all possible, keep a course description and syllabus from each course you would like to transfer.
