GEOLOGY MAJOR Description: Geology is the study of the structure, composition and history of the earth. It is used to locate minerals; natural and energy resources; potential natural hazards; and man's structures so they are compatible with the environment. Education: Geology graduates are required to take courses in mathematics, physics and chemistry, in addition to their geology courses. A bachelor's degree is sufficient training for jobs in mining, exploration work, mapping and laboratory analysis, but the field of professional geology is normally open only to those with an advanced degree. Excellent preparation for advanced training is provided by the geology faculty at Weber State. Employment Outlook: The world's energy and mineral supply is today under great pressure due to excess consumption, and hence the role of the geologist in providing man with these materials becomes more critical every year. Because of this, government projections for positions in the field of geology look extremely encouraging. Related Careers: Mineralogy, paleontology, oceanography, geophysics, soil chemistry, environmental hazards, materials engineering, land utilization, Forest Service Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Public Roads and State Highway Departments. 184 Natural Sciences Geography Program: Geology MajorBachelor Degree I.
