The University of Wyoming is home to a nationally renowned geohydrology and environmental geology degree program. As part of this unique major, students learn the fundamentals of environmental science and take rigorous coursework to prepare for graduate school and impactful careers.

Environmental geology and geohydrology students take a variety of interesting math, science and environmental geology courses, including mineralogy, geochemistry, earth surface processes and more. In addition to their coursework, students may complete undergraduate research, work with renowned professors and network with professionals.

Students are encouraged to choose environmental geology courses that fit their individual interests and goals. With this in mind, there are many courses outside the Department of Geology and Geophysics that may be substituted for electives within the major. Students should work with their advisor to determine which classes are right for them.

The Department of Geology and Geophysics is home to 25 world renowned, award-winning faculty members, each with expertise in geoscience subfields. Some of our faculty's specialities include climate change, mineral exploration, carbon dioxide sequestration, paleoenvironmental reconstructions and earth processes.

UW additionally hosts numerous annual career fairs, including the Rocky Mountain Rendezvous, which is specifically for students interested in geosciences. Dozens of companies participate in this event and offer students interviews for internships and full-time jobs.

The Department of Geology and Geophysics has three research facilities, including the Geochemistry Analytical Laboratory (GAL), the Materials Characterization Laboratory (MCL) and the Near Surface Geophysics Instrumentation Center (UWNSG). These facilities are managed by research scientists who also teach and conduct research at UW.
