Undergraduate Studies

The important thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to discover new ways of thinking about them.

— Sir William Bragg

Welcome to the community of students who study the Earth system and the processes that have changed the planet and our environment over time!

The Department of Geological Sciences offers students the opportunity to discover the Earth while participating in several different undergraduate degree programs or minors. Students learn in the classroom, in the lab, and out in the field. Geological science is inherently multidisciplinary so our graduates are well equipped to tackle complex problems, including environmental and resource problems affecting human society.
