Professionals in this field work for environmental consultancies, government bodies, NGOs, and academic institutions.
Those studying geology and environmental science develop competitive skills for employment or advanced studies. The curriculum offers research-focused classes, paid lab positions, and summer internships for hands-on training. The Summer Field Camp across South Dakota and Wyoming gives geology students additional fieldwork experience.
