Course Information

Geology is the scientific study of the Earth and how it works. You'll learn how our planet and its life forms have changed through time.

Well-trained geologists can help the nation and the world chart an environmentally and economically sound course into the future

A unique place to do fieldwork

You'll spend a lot of time outdoors as a geology major, as extensive fieldwork among Southern California's unique geological features will make up a large part of your learning.

Get to know the specialities of your field

Your courses will familiarize you with current developments and techniques within the standard subdisciplines of geology. These include mineralogy, petrology, paleontology, structural geology, stratigraphy and sedimentology.

An interconnected discipline

You'll work closely with other related disciplines—chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics, and geography—as you expand your knowledge on exploring for energy and economic resources, analyzing geologic hazards, and mitigating the human impact on the environment.

Meaningful research that connects to your future

Doing research in a field you are passionate about gives you valuable and relevant experience for your future career. Prior student research projects have included:

  • A study of the Miocene Ricardo Formation in Red Rock Canyon State Park by a student who now works as an exploration geologist for Exxon/Mobil.
  • A study of the vertebral column of the beaked whale Mesoplodon europaeus by a student who is now pursuing a Ph.D. in vertebrate paleontology at the University of Michigan.
