The Geology Program within UNO's Department of Geography/Geology focuses on training students in Geological Sciences. This curriculum equips students for diverse career 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-making, 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 geoscientists are currently employed across the United States. 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.
