Careers

 

Our department is chiefly devoted to basic research in the geological sciences. Therefore, most career paths out of Locy Hall lead to academic institutions or research laboratories. Not all, however... some of our undergraduate majors have gone on to medical school, or to programs in environmental science or engineering. The philosophy underlying our degree program is the development of fundamental scientific skills that prepare our students to think critically and imaginatively about solving problems - good preparation for any of the possible careers available to graduates with a Bachelors degree (see links), as well as for further training in geological sciences at the graduate level.
