Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Program Overview

Rensselaer was the first school in North America dedicated to instruction in technology and science, and earth science was one of the first topics incorporated into the school curriculum. America's earliest preeminent geologist, Amos Eaton, was one of the principle founders of RPI, and he quickly established the school's reputation in science by training a number of the early leaders in earth science research. The modern department carries on this proud tradition, educating students at the forefront of scientific understanding.
