The Department of Geology and Geophysics offers two undergraduate programs for those students interested in the Earth Sciences: A BS degree and a BA degree. Students may also elect to combine either of these degrees with an affiliated discipline degree in Environment and Natural Resources. In addition, we offer a minor in geology for non-majors who wish to broaden their experience in the Earth Sciences.

At UWyo you'll find:

• A top-notch faculty . Our faculty is dedicated to distinction in research and undergraduate education. In their final year, undergraduates are encouraged to take part in research projects in all areas of the Earth Sciences. Recently undergraduate students have sailed on research vessels in the Atlantic Ocean and have used mass-spectrometers to investigate the age of the rocks of Wyoming.
  
• Critical mass and stimulating peers. Students interact with a faculty of 16, a graduate student population of about 60, and undergraduate majors numbering 120. There's always someone to learn from, and to share an idea with.
  
• State-of-the-art facilities . Our department has top-notch computer, laboratory, and library facilities, from electron microprobes and mass spectrometers to geophysical field equipment and image processing software. The recently completed Brinkerhoff Earth Resources Information Center is a major asset for the effective pursuit and completion of an excellent undergraduate program.
  
• A supportive environment. We are committed to providing a supportive -- yet challenging -- environment for our students. Undergraduate student life is characterized by a remarkable sense of collaboration and a terrific esprit-de-corps.
