When you study geology at Ball State, you have three options.
Our
major in geology is designed to prepare students for geological careers in industry and government agencies and for graduate study that leads to research, teaching, management, and many other positions in industry, government, and universities.
Our
major in earth science aims to broaden the intellectual horizons of students who have related interests, want to pursue double majors, or do not want to enter the geological profession directly.
We also offer a
teaching major, which you can choose to specialize in teaching middle school or high school.
