Penn State’s BS in Geology is a comprehensive science program exploring Earth’s physical makeup and dynamic processes. Students study mineralogy, petrology, paleontology, and tectonics while learning field mapping, lab analysis, and remote sensing techniques. The program emphasizes geohazard analysis, energy resource exploration, and environmental restoration. With access to leading research labs and global field trips, students are prepared for careers in natural resource management, environmental consulting, or geoscience research.
