Geology involves utilizing methods and insights from chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics to address critical inquiries about Earth's systems, past, and trajectory. Professionals in this field are sought after to assess geological risks, analyze natural resources, and interpret environmental factors like water conditions and climate shifts.
The Bachelor of Science curriculum offers comprehensive education in geology and related scientific disciplines. Students can focus on conventional geology, environmental geology (with a hydrogeology specialization), engineering geology, geophysics, or earth and space science certification. The hydrogeology, engineering geology, and geophysics paths integrate fundamental geological studies with advanced coursework in mathematics, engineering, physics, and geophysical principles. The environmental geology concentration blends geological training with diverse scientific fields.
