Curriculum and Courses
The degree includes a core of introductory geosciences, environmental science, hydrogeology, and geomorphology, or sedimentology/stratigraphy. Required electives include a wide array of our upper-level courses that address environmental themes, teach tools of environmental science, or are otherwise cross-disciplinary by nature. By petition, some elective requirements may be fulfilled by courses in other natural sciences or Geography.
From the start of my first semester, I got involved doing research in the Department of Geology and Environmental Earth Science. Most of my research has been involved on how deep wastewater injection can cause earthquakes here in Ohio. I’ve been able to present posters and papers over a dozen times, both locally, at the Undergraduate Research Forum, and nationally, including annual meetings of the Seismological Society of America, on Capitol Hill, and at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus.
