Why Study Geology at Appalachian?
| The Appalachian State University Geology program provides students with a solid foundation on
which to build a successful career in the geosciences. Because we have no graduate program, we can focus entirely on high quality instruction and provide numerous undergraduate research opportunities. The department offers both a BA and BS in Geology, with the option of concentrating in Paleontology, Environmental Geology, Quantitative Geoscience, or Geoscience Education. We have been successful in establishing a program that is arguably among the best Bachelor degree programs in geology available in the Southeastern United States. |
