Overview

The Geology degree program at Texas Christian University employ a learner-centered, teacher-scholar model — which means you’ll be participating in research opportunities in the lab and/or field as part of your undergraduate experience.

You’ll get a rock solid foundation in the fundamentals of sub disciplines of geology — including sedimentology and stratigraphy, spatial sciences (GIS/Remote Sensing), geochemistry, and petrology. The critical-thinking skills you develop at TCU will empower you to search for solutions to current and future issues on energy, water, food and climate.

Career Prospects

Many of the graduates go on to work in environmental firms, oil and gas companies, consulting firms, schools, and government agencies. Others have earned advanced degrees in geology at universities such as Duke, MIT and Colorado School of Mines.

Employment of geoscientists, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is projected to grow 14 percent from 2016 to 2026, faster than the average for all occupations. The need for energy, environmental protection and responsible land and resource management is projected to spur demand for geoscientists in the future.
