Academics

The Department of Geoscience combines the fields of geology and geophysics into one interdisciplinary department. We offer an undergraduate major that combines elements of both fields, and unique graduate degrees for each discipline. Alongside our emerging geoinformatics program, these degrees offer tremendous opportunities for rewarding collaborations and discoveries.
