encompasses many scientific disciplines including astrogeology, geology,
geophysics, geochemistry, hydrogeology, mineralogy, oceanography, paleontology,
sedimentology, stratigraphy, and structural geology. These
fields touch every facet of modern civilization from the discovery of
mineral wealth, the identification and remidiation of environmental problems,
to the more exotic exploration of the moon and planets.
At Louisiana Tech, the specialization is in the education of geologists for the environmental and petroleum industries. Employment opportunities are also available with the U.S. Geological Survey, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Army Corps of Engineers, other branches of local, state, and federal government and environmental, petroleum, and geophysical companies. The Geology curriculum, leading to the Bachelor of Science in geology, is planned to give broad and fundamental preparation in the major areas of geology, with a background in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and the biological sciences. It is designed for those students planning for a professional career in geology and the earth sciences. A minor in Geology consists of Geology 111, 112, 121, 122, and thirteen additional hours of which at least nine must bee at the 300 level or above.
