Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences
We're always in the field and aiding our community. We like to roll up our sleeves and literally get down into the dirt. Like when we discover abandoned mines in the Mahoning Valley, or find ways to improve our local water quality.

Combining lab and classroom experiences, the program offers an interdepartmental and multidisciplinary education to prepare you for the future. You will be able to expand on your undergraduate degree in environmental science, other natural or social sciences, engineering or health professions.
