The Geology Program within UNO's Department of Geography/Geology focuses on training students in Geological Sciences. This curriculum equips learners for diverse professional paths, especially in geoscience-related fields. Graduates can pursue opportunities in expanding sectors like environmental services, energy production, and mineral extraction, as well as policy development, education, or advanced academic studies.
Geology degree holders enjoy access to numerous engaging and fulfilling career options. According to the American Geological Institute, approximately 120,000 geoscience professionals are currently employed across the U.S. Additionally, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projections suggest an 18% growth in geoscientist and hydrogeologist positions by 2018 - a rate surpassing the average for all professions.
