About the course

Earth is the only home we have, so we must study and learn the Earth's natural processes and how they impact our society. Environmental issues, water availability, energy resources, climate change and natural disasters all impact our health, our safety and our economy. As a geology major at Clemson, you'll study all of these issues plus traditional topics including rocks, minerals and fossils, which reveal information about Earth's history and provide the raw materials that our society and technology are built upon. This degree is designed to help you develop quantitative skills, while familiarizing you with the topics, technologies and resources needed to follow a career path in the geosciences. Geologists' career paths can range from traveling and collecting data at field sites to working in high-tech laboratories using advanced software and technology. For students interested in learning how to collect and analyze environmental data, this concentration provides a solid introduction to environmental systems. You'll graduate prepared for a career in natural resources, the environmental consulting industry and government agencies, or graduate studies in environmental fields.
