Overview

The Applied Environmental Geoscience program of the Utah State University requires a combination of advanced courses selected from geology offerings, as well as additional courses from other units on campus, enabling students to complement traditional geology courses with courses in soils, watershed, and engineering in order to acquire a competitive background to obtain employment in the environmental fields. This degree is for students interested in studying the geosciences, having a multidisciplinary degree, and going on to careers in environmental fields.

The program offers two distinct focuses.

Energy Track: This track prepares participants for careers in the energy extractive industries, such as petroleum/natural gas, and coal.

Environmental Track: The environmental track is tailored for land managers, and those in the environmental assessment and remediation fields.
