UIUC’s Geology BS equips students to read the rock record—from fossilized reefs to mantle plumes—while applying geophysics, geochemistry, and remote sensing to energy, water, and hazard solutions. Field camps in the Rockies, seismic-data labs, and core-sample archives foster hands-on discovery. Collaborations with the Illinois State Geological Survey and energy-transition startups propel graduates toward environmental consulting, petroleum geoscience, carbon sequestration, and planetary exploration.
