What to Expect
This major was developed in close consultation with the College of Business & Economics and several professionals in the geosciences industry (environmental consulting, oil, and natural gas) to ensure it covers today’s topics in geology and business.
You’ll take courses in geology, chemistry, math, business, economics, and environmental ethics as well as gain internship or work experiences. We’ve developed or revised several geology courses including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Economic Geology, Petroleum Geology, and Environmental Geochemistry.
Geology Program Benefits
The many benefits of Ashland University’s Geology programs include:
- Participate in research projects alongside highly regarded professors
- Benefit from small class sizes capped at 25 students to allow for maximum interaction with professors comprised of respected and published scientists
- Develop strong research and writing skills that will serve you well in graduate school or your future career
- Use scientific equipment in our state-of-the-art sample preparation and instrumental laboratories
Both employers and graduate schools prefer graduates with hands-on, one-on-one experiences that you’ll receive at Ashland University. That’s why 95 percent of all Ashland Geology majors who move onto graduate school do so on full-tuition scholarships.
