Bachelor of Science in Geology

The world needs professionals who desire to be stewards of the Earth. At Michigan Tech, students dig deep into their studies to understand our planet and learn how to strike a delicate balance between our society s need for natural resources and our responsibility to preserve the environment. Geology is the study of the earth, earth materials, and earth systems; it is a physical and natural science. As a geologist, students explore and extract minerals or energy resources, dispose of nuclear and chemical waste, choose the best sites for structures, or study natural hazards such as volcanoes or earthquakes and figure out how to minimize their impact on people.
