A degree in Geosciences at PLU prepares you for entry level jobs in
the geologic professions as well as continuing study at the graduate
level.
PLU graduates in the geosciences hold positions in geotechnical and
environmental consulting firms, engineering geology, the National Park
Service, the U.S. Geological Survey, state and local government
agencies, mining corporations, and as teachers at all levels.
PLU graduates enter graduate programs at major research
universities. A master's degree is an advantage for career advancement
in many geologic companies or government agencies. The Ph.D. degree in
a geological specialty prepares for college-level teaching and for
research in universities, government, or industry.
