Overview

Geoscientists explore the history of the planet, look for ways to responsibly use its resources, and restore and reclaim degraded lands. Wilkes University’s curriculum, which leads to a bachelor of science degree, combines fundamentals of a traditional geology program with modern elements desired by industry. The program prepares students for graduate school and meets state requirements for professional licensure. A professional geologist license opens career opportunities and makes students more competitive in the job market. The program includes coursework in geospatial technology, giving you hands-on experience with industry-standard instruments and computer software to prepare you for professional-grade field investigations. These tools, which include geographic information systems, global positioning systems and remote sensing, allow students to map and analyze the earth. Program courses in hydrogeology, geomorphology, geologic hazards and applied geophysics highlight specialty areas important to the modern geoscientist. During the yearlong senior capstone project, students will work to solve a real-world problem, using equipment in the field and laboratory, refining skills in professional writing and presenting to faculty, fellow students and community partners. Many Wilkes students go on to present research findings at a Geological Society of America regional meeting. The capstone, coupled with targeted study in mineral, water and energy resources, geologic and geo-environmental hazards, and applied geophysics, enhances graduates’ marketability to potential employers.

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
