Welcome to the Geosciences Department

The Department of Geosciences at Midwestern State University is growing, with new students, faculty members, and equipment. Our degree programs provide students with a variety of educational opportunities that will prepare them for employment and/or graduate school. Courses incorporate the latest technology, information, and research techniques available, and provide practical field experience along with classroom instruction. With a Bachelor of Arts in Geosciences or a Bachelor of Science in Geosciences or Environmental Science, students can choose vocations such as water resource management, environmental assessment and consultation, and petroleum production/exploration. Both geosciences and environmental science majors can join the Geosciences Club, which is involved with various projects and takes additional field trips. The department also hosts the Epsilon Zeta Chapter of Sigma Gamma Epsilon, a national honor society for select geosciences/environmental science majors.
