Geology is the study of theory and practice of scientific knowledge pertaining to the Earth: its morphology and environment, materials and processes, origin, and history; i.e., the complex physical, chemical, and biological interactions which have shaped the planet’s evolution. We stress undergraduate program breadth as a means of maximizing the opportunities for our undergraduates to select from a wide variety of postgraduate study or career options. Besides providing a broad theoretical knowledge base, we stress training in practical applications, independence of thought, and the development of problem-solving skills.<br><br>Career opportunities are found in both public and private sectors. Our graduates find industrial or governmental jobs in environment and engineering, oil, mining; many of them enroll in graduate programs at other universities.
