Program Overview

The earth sciences focus on the planet Earth and the processes that shape it. In particular, the field investigates the structure and dynamics of the planet, the genesis and decay of the material the Earth is composed of, and the history of the Earth s development. The course of study explores the commonly known geo-phenomena (e.g.: volcanoes, earthquakes, hot springs, caves, fossils, crude oil, minerals, ground heat, crystals, groundwater, and many more). The curriculum is characterized by a well-balanced combination of theoretical foundations, laboratory courses, practical courses, and field work. An understanding of geology and geomaterials requires a working knowledge of the fundamentals of mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
