成立于1926年的科罗拉多矿业学院地球物理系因其应用地球物理研究和教育计划而受到全世界的认可和尊重。拥有12名全职教师和较小班级规模的学生，在紧密联系的部门中，学生会得到个性化的关注。地球物理工程计划的任务是对大学生进行地球物理学的应用方面的教育，以通过探索和阐明地球，海洋，大气的动态过程来满足全球对能源，水，食物，矿产和减轻自然灾害的需求和太阳系。地球物理学家通过在地球表面，钻孔，飞机或卫星中收集的物理测量结果来研究地球内部。结合了数学，物理学，地质学，化学，水文学和计算机科学，地球物理学家和地球物理工
The Bachelor of Science in Geophysical Engineering program educates undergraduates to help meet global needs for energy, water, food, minerals and the mitigation of natural hazards by exploring and illuminating the dynamic processes of the Earth, oceans, atmosphere and solar system. Using a combination of mathematics, physics, geology, chemistry, hydrology and computer science, students will learn how to analyze the planet's complex interior, inferring the properties and processes within from measurements collected at the surface, in boreholes and from aircraft and satellites. Graduates are prepared to play a role in providing resources for a growing population, mitigating the threat of earthquakes, volcanoes and other geohazards, exploring other planets and more.
