BS Geochemistry

Course Overview This course provides a comprehensive introduction to geochemistry, exploring the chemical principles that govern Earth and planetary systems from the formation of minerals to large-scale environmental processes. Students will gain hands-on experience through laboratory work and field-based research opportunities, applying theoretical knowledge to real-world challenges like resource exploration and environmental analysis. Key Program Highlights Hands-on research opportunities with professors and access to four full-sized laboratories Field-based learning through a dedicated Geology Field Program Study of mineralogy, petrology, and the application of physical chemistry to geological problems Access to specialized equipment including a seismograph and a dedicated geology computer lab Exploration of diverse topics from planetary science to practical resource discovery
