Overview

Key Features

Geology program at Marietta College is the science that studies climate change, mineral deposits, faulting and earthquakes, volcanoes, groundwater, landslides, erosion and deposition, coral reefs, caves, fossils, plate tectonics, and the history of the earth. Geology also forms the basis of the petroleum and mineral industries, and is the science used to mitigate natural hazards, to locate groundwater resources, and to track subsurface pollution. The Marietta College Geology program offers the opportunity to learn from an experienced and highly qualified faculty in a personal, student-centered, small college setting with one of the longest continuous histories of teaching Geology. We have particular strengths in Petroleum Geology, Engineering/Environmental Geology, and Paleontology.

The Marietta College Geology program has an excellent record of placing students in professional jobs and graduate programs. The program is designed to build a strong foundation in all of the fundamental areas of geology to allow students flexibility in career directions, and then to encourage students to develop strength in a direction of their own choosing. Our concentrations in Engineering Geology (the environmental side of geology), Petroleum Geology (designed for those wishing to pursue exploration and development of petroleum resources), and Paleontology are enhanced by our close relationships with the Marietta College Environmental Science and Petroleum Engineering programs and with the Aaron Scott Dinosaur Quarry in Utah.
