Why study geology?
Geology is the science of planet Earth. Geologists use elements of chemistry,
physics, biology and mathematics in interpreting the evolution of the earth and its
life forms. Applied geology addresses exploration of earth resources,
environmental quality and hazards and practical understanding of the planet on
which we live. An opportunity exists to earn a double major with a BS in both
Geology and Environmental Science.

General Admissions Requirements for Geology
High school students planning to major in Geology should take two years of
algebra, one year of geometry/trigonometry and one year of chemistry and
physics. They are also encouraged to take four years of English. The ability to
express ideas and concepts clearly and concisely, both orally and in written form,
is fundamental to all sciences.
Entering freshmen and transfer students electing to major in Geology should
contact the Department for advising as soon as possible. Failure to do so may
result in an additional year to finish the BS program. Especially important for
beginning students is early completion of the chemistry sequence.
