Geology - SUNY at Binghamton

Geology from SUNY at Binghamton is a Campus Master Geology degree that prepares you for a Science career. There are almost as many answers to this question as there are Geology students. Many of our current Geology majors did not enter the university with that goal in mind. They "discovered" Geology by taking one of our introductory courses. Geology majors have a few things in common. Most love being outdoors. Most appreciate the "real world" application of science in Geology. Most are concerned about threats to our environment and want to do something about it. Most are naturally inquisitive; that's what makes them good scientists. Some want to share their love of science with others by becoming teachers. Others want to follow previous Binghamton students to the nation's top graduate schools. Still others plan to go directly into private sector employment in environmental consulting companies or in the oil and gas industry. And some gain a solid undergraduate education in science, then go into any number of other fields or pursuits. Ample evidence can be found quite simply by perusing the comments shared by our alumni. Beyond the introductory level, Geology courses tend to be small. The "core courses" typically include 20-25 students who get to know each other quite well through field trips and lab work. It is not unusual for upper level courses to have, perhaps, 10 students with a mix of graduate and undergraduate students. Coursework is often collaborative and cooperative. This promotes an attitude of mutual support rather than competitiveness. All Geology courses are taught by regular faculty, many on a first name basis with their students, sometimes assisted by graduate students. Many courses involve field work, either on campus making use of the Nature Preserve, or through short or extended field trips throughout the region. Geology is "hands-on" science, so students can expect to get a bit dirty or wet, to be cold or hot, and to be tired. It's a bonding experience. Most Geology students love it.
