Geology

Transfer Tools Home

Geology is the study of the Earth. Geology majors learn about Earth?s formation and properties including chemical, physical, and biological traits. Topics include oceans, atmosphere, climate, tectonics, seismology, paleobiology, and more. Geology students have opportunities to do field work, work on faculty research, and other hands-on experiences. Teaching majors are also available for students interested in certification to teach in earth sciences in Arizona.

The general education component of this degree is a 35 unit block called the Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC). You must complete the AGEC-S.
