Major Program
B.S. Geology ? Your geology training at Western Illinois University will begin with an introduction to the earth?s physical processes and materials and a survey of the earth?s geologic history. Geology courses emphasize the various fields of study within the discipline, including mineralogy, petrology, sedimentology, structure, field methods, and paleontology. Field geology teaches you techniques used in field mapping such as use of a pocket transit, GPS receiver, laser transit, and other specialized equipment. Upper-level courses include the study of geologic maps, earth structures, and the rock and fossil record. As a Geology major, you will also take courses such as Introductory Calculus, Chemistry, and Physics or Biology
Real-World Experience
Many courses include field trips that last from one to four days. Our required biennial, six-week Geology Summer Field Camp in South Dakota is considered by most students to be the unifying highlight of their studies. Knowledge from the classroom is put into practice here. Our students look forward to sharing the learning experience with their fellow majors in South Dakota, Yellowstone, and the Tetons.
