With attention firmly on students, state-of-the-art research facilities and a physical location near a variety of geological settings, SIU’s Geology program is one of the most engaging in the country. Join a team of dedicated faculty and enthusiastic undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students in the pursuit of knowledge and a highly marketable set of skills applying fundamental science to solve important environmental problems. Gaining a greater understanding of the Earth and the forces that shape it adds value to degrees from nearly every other scientific discipline. Earning a bachelor’s degree, or even a minor, in geology will broaden your skills as a scientist, researcher or educator.
