Geology (B.S.)

Turn the earth into your classroom with the hands-on experiences offered by UND's Geology program.

The metals that go into our electronics. The energy that powers our society. The fundamental answers about the nature of our planet itself. Geologists are responsible for helping find each of these things, as well as answers about the fundamental forces that made our planet.

Why Study Geology at UND?

Cutting-edge facilities and extensive hands-on experiences, including a five-week field camp, are hallmarks of UND's Geology program. By the time you graduate, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of geology, skills in modern geological techniques and instrumentation, and the ability to seek, analyze and present new information — all critical skills to find entry-level work.

Our faculty interests span the globe, and you may have the opportunity to follow them as you participate in joint research; projects in Antarctica as well as other remote locations are ongoing.

A senior thesis is required.
