Career Paths in Geology
The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences aims to foster the intellectual development of its students within a geological perspective, and to prepare them to evaluate critical contemporary issues and problems relating to the earth's physical environment. For anyone contemplating graduate studies and a professional career in geology, certain ancillary courses are required and others strongly recommended. The geology curricula may also serve as a preparation for a career in the petroleum or mining industries, environmental geology, oceanology, land-use planning, teaching, business, and law.
Teaching Certification: Students seeking teacher certification in earth science must complete the requirements for a major geology as well as satisfy other requirements for certification.
