Students who discover in themselves a sense of excitement about the environment, mountains, climate change, volcanoes, fossils, rivers, and earthquakes will find a good home in the Carleton College Geology Department.

The geology department retains a spirit of exploration and adventure; fieldwork in the out of doors is central to our curriculum. The geology curriculum is flexible, rigorous, and rooted in the traditions of a liberal arts education.

Carleton College is committed to providing a true liberal arts education—a curriculum that challenges our students to learn broadly and think deeply. Instead of training for one narrow career path, Carleton students develop the knowledge and skills to succeed in any walk of life.

The most important thing our students gain is how to learn for a lifetime. Critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, effective communication: these are the tools that transform a collection of facts and figures into a way of understanding the world.
