Students who study in the Geology Department may earn a bachelor of science degree in three majors: geology, environmental geoscience or adolescence education: earth science.
In the adolescence education: earth science degree program, students combine courses in the geology major with a professional sequence leading to qualification for certification as teachers of high school earth science, environmental science or middle school general science.
Academic credit may be earned for field trips and internships which are open to qualified students in all programs.
The Geology Department also participates in the Earth and Environment Program for freshmen involving immersion in courses in geology and environmental science, as a focus for entrance into one of these science majors.
