Geology is the study of the earth, earth materials, and earth systems. It is a physical and natural science and is characterized by both resource and environmental facets. Industrial employment for geological graduates is broad, emphasizing areas such as energy resources, mineral deposits, and complex environmental issues. Because geology draws heavily on basic science and mathematics, for this program, the core curriculum of basic geology is combined with physics, chemistry, and mathematics.
