Overview

Highlights

The faculty and students at Salem State University investigate fundamental processes on Earth, such as reconstructing past climates, determining the timing of volcanism and formation of mountains, chemical changes in rivers and oceans, and exploring the interdependency between humans and their environment over geological time scales.

The Geological Sciences students receive a solid foundation of geosciences through a combination of laboratory and field-based education and apply their skills in various careers, including forensic science, environmental consulting, education, and government agencies.

The Geology concentration is the most rigorous degree path in the Geological Sciences and is designed primarily for students wishing to pursue MS and Ph.D. degrees in Geosciences after graduation. The comprehensive geology curriculum, combined with support courses in allied STEM fields, ensures the required coursework for graduate programs while also preparing graduates for any career in geosciences.
