Each of the programs of study within the department offer 4 areas of undergraduate emphasis. In the geology program, these are:

  • economic geology and mineral exploration
  • igneous and metamorphic petrology
  • structural geology and tectonics
  • stratigraphy and sedimentation



In geological engineering, diverse fields such as ground-water resources, subsurface contamination, slope stability, environmental site investigations, petroleum , and minerals are studied. Areas of emphasis emphasis include:

  • ground water
  • environmental planning and natural hazards
  • geomechanics
  • petroleum and minerals
