In the major, students will expand upon the core courses taken in the minor. The major requires students to study the processes acting both within the earth and on its surface in more detail in upper division courses. Beyond that, the major also requires students to apply what they have learned in a summer field geology course. Students majoring in geology will take a senior seminar introducing them to the reading and writing of peer-reviewed geological literature, and will be encouraged to engage in an individual research project.
