The Professional Geology concentration prepares students for a career in Geology immediately upon graduation or for graduate studies in Geology.  Students take fundamental geology courses such as Mineralogy, Petrology and Structural Geology as well as more specialized courses such as Hydrogeology and Economic Geology.  Depending on student aspirations there are also requirements for Math and Physics coursework.  Recent graduates have found work in geotechnical and environmental consulting firms, state and federal agencies and the energy and mining industries, and have been accepted to M.S. and Ph.D. graduate programs nationwide.
