Geology is the study of the Earth, its materials, its structure, and the processes that are acting upon them including the evolution of the organisms that inhabit our planet. Geologists are responsible for discovering natural resources, identifying natural hazards, and supplying information critical for solving problems and establishing policy on resources management, protection of the environment, public health, safety, and welfare.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the baccalaureate degree, students in geology are expected to:
- Identify, describe, and classify earth materials, formations, and structures and interpret them in the context of geologic processes;
- Analyze and report quantitative geologic data collected in the field and laboratory;
- Read, write, present, and critically evaluate geologic reports, professional papers and maps;
- Synthesize information from a variety of disciplines to solve geologic problems;
This program takes four years plus one summer to complete.
