Course Overview

Geology is a field-oriented science that involves mapping and analyzing rocks, deciphering the Earth’s history from the rock record, locating natural resources, identifying natural and man-made hazards, and understanding Earth’s natural processes.

Saint Louis University's Bachelor of Science in Geology places a stronger emphasis on chemistry, physics, calculus and fieldwork than the geology B.A which is also offered at SLU. It is more appropriate for students who intend to go on to graduate school or become a professional geologist.

Program Highlights

  • Saint Louis University's undergraduate geology program has a low student to faculty ratio, giving students more opportunities to interact with faculty, receive personalized attention and take advantage of opportunities both inside and outside of the University. 
  • An annual department field trip in which faculty, graduate and undergraduate students spend one week exploring a region of the country offers a unique hands-on experience in which students learn first-hand about the Earth and its environment. The department heavily subsidizes these trips so that most students can participate.
