Undergraduate Degrees in Geosciences
Major in Geology
The Geology curriculum provides a technical background within the broader framework of a liberal arts program. Students may choose either the traditional geology concentration or the environmental geology concentration. Both concentrations require courses from Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Sciences, Statistics, and Biology as well as a balance of Liberal Arts courses. Many geology majors add courses in engineering and watershed sciences to broaden their career opportunities.
Emphasis is placed on integrating field studies in the Rocky Mountains with on-campus work in both the classroom and the laboratory. A required Geology Summer Field Course (GEOL 436) provides a transition between academic studies and professional employment. The course also serves as a capstone course that allows us to monitor and improve our curriculum to meet the changing needs of our students.
The required courses for each of the Geology Concentrations are listed below:
Minor in Geology - This Minor is open to all Majors in the University
The geology minor is designed to provide a brief curriculum in geology to enhance other majors. This minor is used by students in a variety of disciplines including, Physics, Natural Resources Management areas and the Liberal Arts. It is also one of the areas of concentration in the Physical Science Major offered by the College of Natural Sciences.
