Bachelor of Science in Environmental Geology

Program Overview

Environmental Geology is the scientific study of the Earth — what it’s made of, the physical and chemical processes that occur on its surface and inside it, and the planet’s history and life forms.

At The University of Toledo, environmental geology majors are taught to think critically, question established dogma and develop communication skills. Geologists are uniquely trained for a wide variety of jobs. They are used to working with incomplete data sets, open-ended problems and a mixture of qualitative and quantitative data before choosing the best solution.

The B.S. in Environmental Geology offers a rigorous background in the earth sciences, focusing on environmental geology and surface processes. This degree positions a student to pursue graduate studies in geology or go directly into the workforce.

Highlights

  • Expert faculty. All UToledo environmetal geology courses are taught by department faculty, not grad students. Our environmental geology faculty’s interests span the geological sciences, with a focus on environmental, surface and near-surface geology.
  • Research. UToledo’s faculty is active in funded research. The low student-to-faculty ratio allows undergraduates to work alongside faculty in our recently renovated labs. Students also can work on their own research projects. These research opportunities make our students more competitive in the job market.
  • Field experiences. Students can take twice-a-year field trips. Environmental Geology majors have traveled all over the country, including to the Grand Canyon, the Badlands, Death Valley, Yellowstone National Park, the Grand Tetons, the Appalachians and the Adirondacks.
