Course Overview

Courses in geosciences leading to a bachelor of science degree provide opportunities for research and specialization (including surface and subsurface) in:

structural geology, structural petrology, and tectonics;

sedimentology, sedimentary petrology, environmental geochemistry, and diagenesis;

invertebrate paleontology, paleoecology, and modern carbonate environments;

petroleum geology and stratigraphy;

igneous petrology and volcanology;

hydrogeology and hydrology;

geophysics;

geomorphology, urban geology, G.I.S., environmental geology, and wetlands; and

geoarchaeology.

Geosciences students planning to specialize in paleontology should elect courses in biology; those planning to specialize in mineralogy and/or petrology should take more chemistry.
