What will I learn?

Geology is a multidisciplinary scientific study of the Earth, its origin, structure, composition, and history. It includes the processes that have given rise to its present state and how they are interconnected. Geologists play a leading role in the discovery, utilization, and management of natural resources, evaluating how natural processes impact life on Earth and how humans interact with Earth.

Learn

Geology is the study of the Earth, the materials of which it is made, the structure of those materials, and the processes acting upon them. An important part of geology is the study of how Earth’s materials, structures, processes, and organisms have changed over time. Geologists work to understand the history of our planet. The better we can understand Earth’s history, the better we can foresee how events and processes of the past might influence the future.

Opportunities

The Geology General major is for those who seek a general education in geology or who are interested in a career combining geology with fields such as business, patent law, technical writing, or industrial health and safety.

This is a designated STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) program.
