Shawnee State designed its geology program with a core curriculum (closely modeled after the American Institute of Professional Geologists recommendations) which is enhanced through elective courses, field experiences, and research opportunities. This balance maintains a unique, field-oriented curriculum of which few programs of similar size can boast.

At Shawnee State, faculty get to know our geology majors as individuals, and are able to mentor them?be it with regard to coursework, research opportunities, or career guidance?throughout their college careers.
