Bachelor in GEOLOGIE

Geology is designed to acquaint the student with the processes, applications, and techniques of earth science. It is suitable for someone who intends to complete a Bachelor’s degree in geology or a related field like oceanography, meteorology, geophysics, or environmental science.

Students who seek a degree in science education at either the elementary or secondary level may wish to emphasize geology in their degree plans.

For non-majors, geology courses offer a greater understanding of the world that enhances one’s appreciation of surface features, environmental concerns, resource utilization, and the grandeur of immense changes through time.

Today's Midland College (MC) became a reality after its meager beginnings in 1969 as part of the Permian Junior College District. Midland College gained its independence as a separate community college district in October 1972 after Midland supporters rallied in Austin to garner support for the split.

The turning point of a new campus was two-fold: the passing of Senate Bill 19 to allow the citizens of Midland to hold an election to secede from the Permian Junior College system and the passing of the $5.1 million bond issue in December 1972 to support the creation of the Midland College campus.
