The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claires geology bachelors degree aims to describe, analyze and explain the patterns and processes of the natural environment and the human cultural systems of the earth. The growing major is an excellent choice for those who enjoy the outdoors, are passionate about the environment and have a strong aptitude for math, science and chemistry. Throughout the program, youll gain a solid foundation in areas like physical geology, environmental geology, structural geology, hydrogeology, and mineralogy and metrology, helping you to uncover relations between people, places, cultures and environments. Youll also be immersed in the fascinating world of digital tools and techniques. Through coursework and unique projects, youll gain firsthand experience using computer graphics and applying geographic information systems (GIS) to analyze and present geologic data. While at UWEC, you will be challenged to take what youve learned and put it into practice. As part of a required capstone, youll choose between joining a student-faculty research project, preparing and presenting a department seminar, participating in an internship or enrolling in a field experience. Many geology majors choose to attend a three-week field course in southwestern Montana to fulfill this requirement. There, youll explore advanced geologic field techniques, with an emphasis on the construction of geologic maps and cross-sections in deformed plutonic, volcanic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. Because of the broad-based nature of our geology programs, graduates find endless employment opportunities are available to them. You may go on to work as a geologist for environmental consulting firms conducting site investigations, help clients prevent unforeseen environmental impacts or collect data to inform client decisions. No matter your chosen career, youll have the knowledge, skills and experiences necessary to do what you love — and make your mark. Students may choo
