Bachelor of Science in Geology

The Major in Geology provides an academic and practical basis for diverse professional Earth science, environmental, and other careers. Career paths include private and public sector water, energy, mineral, and other natural resources, geologic hazards, environmental management, and education. The major provides a quantitative science and general education preparation for graduate studies, including hydrology, geophysics, environmental science, economic geology, resources management, public policy, and many other areas.

The curriculum encompasses a strong geosciences core, and includes integrating field studies in the Colorado Rocky Mountains and elsewhere with extensive on-campus classroom and laboratory studies. Students complete courses in mathematics, physical sciences, communications, and the liberal arts to develop effective quantitative, decision making, and communications skills. Four concentrations are offered to allow focus on specialized career interests: Geology, Environmental Geology, Geophysics, and Hydrogeology.

Submit your most recent transcripts or mark sheets. We will ask for additional materials if necessary. All decisions are provisional until a final, official transcript verifying graduation is received. Only transcripts sent directly from the school or stamped and sealed are considered official. If a record is not in English, a certified literal English translation must accompany the transcript.

High school performance, as reflected on a student's transcript(s), is an essential component of the admission decision for all freshman/first-year applicants and for transfer applicants with fewer than 30 post-high school credits.

High school transcripts for transfer applicants with more than 30 post-high school credits are considered only when needed to satisfy the admission requirement in mathematics.

All freshman/first year applicants and all transfers with fewer than 60 post-high school college credits must submit proof of high school graduation or equivalent prior to the start of their first semester of enrollment.
