News on the Personal Side
The Department of Geosciences at Western Michigan University is a growing center for geologic and environmental research, and offers a variety of programs for college students seeking a career in the Earth sciences, as well as adult professionals looking to extend their education in environmental science, resource exploration and recovery, or Earth science teaching.
We offer high quality degree programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Our undergraduate programs include a traditional, pre-professional Geology major and a non-professional Earth Sciences major (and Earth Science Minor) for students interested in geology but who don't intend to pursue a career in an Earth science discipline. We also offer specialized major programs in Geochemistry, Geophysics, and Hydrogeology, where students can gain a highly focused and rigorous education in one of these professional disciplines.
In collaboration with the Mallinson Institute for Science Education at WMU, we also offer a major in Earth Science Teaching for prospective K-12 educators.
At the graduate level we offer a Ph.D. program in Geosciences, an M.Sc. in Geosciences and an M.A. in Earth Sciences. Our Ph.D. and M.Sc. programs are intended as professional degrees for students continuing in a geosciences career. Our M.A. program is intended for students who plan careers outside the geosciences but whose work or specialty would benefit from an in-depth education in the geologic sciences.
Advising Our undergraduate advisor will have advising hours on Tuesday 1:30 - 4:30 pm and Thursday 8:30-11:30 am. Dr. Michelle Kominz If you are unsure as to which Geology Program you would like to major or minor in, you may meet with Dr. Hampton for an overview of the programs and to determine which program fits your needs. For any questions having to do with Earth Science Education - undergraduate and graduate level, please contact Dr. Petcovic. Dr. Heather Petcovic For graduate advising, please contact Dr. Koretsky Dr. Carla Koretsky If you have any questions regarding advising, please come to the main office at 1187 Rood Hall, or call (269) 387-5485.
