Departmental advisors can recommend electives for students desiring concentrations in energy and minerals resources, engineering geology, exploration seismic and near-surface geophysics, environmental geology and geochemistry, hydrogeology, igneous petrology, geochronology, sedimentary geology, biomineralization and biogeochemistry. Students intending to earn advanced degrees should visit with the departmental graduate advisor concerning entrance requirements of graduate programs.
