Program Overview

You should major in geology if:

  • You love nature and enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking, and exploring.
  • You enjoy all of the sciences, including biology, chemistry, physics, and math.
  • You want to get hands-on experience through classes that take you into unique geological formations in Louisiana and across the country.

Geology is the study of the planet’s physical structure and substances. Learn about rocks, fossils, and minerals; the layers of the earth; earthquakes and seismic events; and much more.

As a geology major at UL Lafayette, you can specialize in one of our concentrations: earth sciences, environmental geology, paleontology, or energy resources.
