Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Geology] From University of Nebraska Omaha

Earth is our home planet, a bright blue marble spinning through space. The Earth is certainly beautiful, but why study Geology?

• Geology studies both modern and ancient environments, deciphering the processes at work on our planet.
• Geology is a means and a method for understanding and discovering the natural resources upon which the modern world is based.
• Geology is a study of history, a long view of history that extends back billions of years.
• Geology helps us identify and mitigate natural hazards such as earthquakes, coastal erosion, flooding, and landslides.
• Geology is an excellent reason for travel as the Earth itself provides geologists with their primary data.
• Geologists are in demand: In the past 4 years, over 85% of our graduates have either obtained employment in the geology area, or have attended graduate school.
