Bachelor in Geologie

Unlock the mysteries of physical and chemical earth processes, natural disasters, the reconstruction of our planet’s history, and the use of its resources. TCU geology students learn to see the world differently and in a profound time to answer some of society’s biggest questions. Our geology degree programs employ a learner-centered, teacher-scholar model — which means you’ll participate in research opportunities in the lab and/or field as part of your undergraduate experience.

You’ll get a rock-solid foundation in the fundamentals of geology sub-disciplines — including sedimentology and stratigraphy, spatial sciences (GIS/Remote Sensing), geochemistry, and petrology. The critical-thinking skills you develop at TCU will empower you to search for solutions to current and future energy, water, food, and climate issues.

Our promise statement “Where open doors open minds” reflects our approach to education and scholarship. Namely, we are a college with world-class faculty who function as true teacher-scholars. College of Science & Engineering (CSE) faculty open our students' minds and engage in active scholarship, whether the subject is as large as the universe, as small as a sub-atomic particle, or as abstract as a mathematical theorem. Our goal is to propagate both knowledge and excitement to our students, whether in the classroom, our offices, research laboratories, or the field.

Your Texas Christian University (TCU) degree from the College of Science & Engineering will take you great places, and we’ll always be cheering you on. We are also much more than a conduit to a great job, graduate, or medical school – although these are well-traveled paths. This is because we are committed to the principles of diversity and equality, and we strive to make the College as inclusive as possible. Stated, we believe STEM education is hollow without these values inculcated firmly throughout.
