| Geology is the study of the planet Earth and its many aspects. For example, geologists are concerned with dynamic and hazardous natural processes; present and historical records of global climate, environmental and geographic change; evolution of life on Earth; and the structure and composition of Earth. A major area for employment today is in the environmental arena. The prediction, prevention and remediation of hazards related to the earth's dynamic processes such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, landslides, flooding and beach erosion are also tackled by those with a training in the geological sciences. |

The Department of Geology stresses quality teaching for undergraduate students with an emphasis on preparation for further study of geology at the graduate level. Geology students are required to participate in a summer field course of geological research, conducted in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. In addition to field work, upperclass students of recognized ability are nominated for lab teaching and research assistant positions. |
