Description

Colorado’s majestic mountains. The high plains, mesas and canyonlands. The state’s energy and mineral wealth. Gold, silver and diamonds. Dinosaurs, crystals and fossils. Even supervolcanoes! Learn about all of it on an urban campus surrounded by these natural wonders.

As an MSU Denver bachelor of science Applied Geology student, you will study the mysteries of the Earth and more through multiple disciplines, developing your knowledge of Geology, Physics, Chemistry, Environmental Science and Geographic Information Systems in small classes under the guidance of passionate professors committed to your success.

In typical MSU Denver fashion, your education won’t be all about classroom work. Your Applied Geology program will also include fieldwork courses, a geology internship and undergraduate research projects where you will investigate geological problems in the field or lab. MSU Denver student work has included the discovery of a new kimberlite, the source rock for diamonds in Northern Colorado, the mapping of rock glaciers in the Colorado mountains and international research in Ireland and Germany.

By combining this strong foundation in geological studies with relevant experiences, you will graduate with the knowledge and skills necessary to start a geoscientific career or pursue graduate studies.
