Introduction
This program of study has two possible emphases--one for the professional geologist and the other for the earth science teacher.
The former prepares the student for a career in industry or in government surveys or provides preparation for Ph.D. work at another institution. The latter prepares the student to teach geology and other earth science courses at the secondary or college level. The geology track is flexible. The student and advisor will select appropriate electives based on the area of emphasis such as environmental geology, stratigraphy, vertebrate paleontology, geophysics, petroleum geology, etc.
