While the study of rocks, minerals, fossils and crustal processes like volcanoes and earthquakes plays an important role in Geology courses, geologists today lead the way in helping nations and societies deal with the impact of climate change and finding solutions to issues related to environmental damage, water supply, mineral resources, changes in ocean conditions and land use. This degree program prepares students to study exciting subject areas such as global change, natural disasters like volcanoes and earthquakes, the structure of the Earth and paleontology. Coursework includes opportunities to learn about the processes that shape the Earth and how those processes have changed over time, often through working with peers in the field and laboratory, general chemistry and physics, and college-level math.

Geology graduates are able to think spatially in multiple dimensions, read and create maps, and collect/interpret data in order to creatively solve problems. Most jobs in the geosciences require effective communication skills for reporting scientific findings to peers, clients and the public. Career opportunities are abundant and interdisciplinary, including work in environmental consulting, geological hazard mitigation, the energy and mineral resources sectors, oceanography, museums or education. Geology degree courses introduce students to computer programs, field tools and instruments that they will use in their career.
