Course
Offerings
The geological sciences use diverse and
interdisciplinary approaches to the study of complex
physical, chemical, and biological processes occurring
on and within the earth. The undergraduate program combines
fundamental background in mathematics, physics, and
chemistry with courses applying these techniques to
geological problems. Undergraduates are encouraged to
select individual programs reflecting their scientific
interests and career goals, whether graduate study in
the earth sciences, professional employment, or advanced
study in areas such as management or law.
