The geology and geophysics program is located in McNutt Hall and it is especially well endowed with modern, state-of-the-art equipment for teaching and research in most areas of the Earth sciences. The availability of such equipment provides our students with an excellent laboratory and field educational experience. In addition, cooperative studies with the Missouri Geological Survey and the U.S. Geological Survey provide students with opportunities for part time employment and on-the-job experience while they pursue their degree.
