Study the processes that shape, change, and safeguard the Earth.
Geology students will develop a deeper appreciation of the Earth and its resources and hazards. They will develop critical thinking and communication skills and gain a strong background in science, technology, and math to help prepare them for traditional geology and non-traditional careers.
