COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES<br />
DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY<br />
The Department of Geology offers a program<br />
leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in<br />
Geology. As part of degree requirements, majors<br />
have to conduct a supervised research project in<br />
their final year. The Department also offers<br />
advanced undergraduate courses for qualified<br />
students in the graduate programs in Biology,<br />
Physics, Marine Sciences and Civil Engineering.<br />
The principal objective of the Geology Program<br />
is to prepare students for professional positions<br />
in industry and government, and for careers in<br />
academic research and teaching.<br />
The Department operates a microseismic<br />
network, laboratories with analytical instruments<br />
including an electron microprobe, x-ray<br />
fluorescence and x-ray diffraction spectrometers,<br />
and a mass spectrometer, as well as geochemical,<br />
remote sensing and geophysical laboratories.<br />
