It may be a small world, but it's certainly not a simple one! The geology program explores the complex structures that make up the world, including rocks and minerals, the surface process that shapes the Earth and tectonic forces that have occurred in the scale of geologic time.
Why Study Geology at Northwest
Many schools offer geology programs, but at Northwest, we take hands-on learning to a new level!
Our geology program focuses on three core areas: paleontology, the study of fossils, the evolution of life and ancient environments; sedimentology, the study of sedimentary rocks and the environments and process through which they develop; and stratigraphy, the study of a rock unit’s relationship to space and time.
This major has two specializations: general geology and environmental geology.
General Geology - B.A. or B.S.
The general geology major gives students a holistic understanding of earth, rocks and the evolution of the earth.
Environmental Geology - B.S.
The specialization in environmental geology focuses primarily on geology as it relates to hydrology, natural disasters and natural resources.
