Are you an aspiring geologist who likes to build, or an engineer interested in geology?
Get the skills and know-how needed to work in the geotechnical or civil/environmental engineering fields.
Learn the basics of geology, the engineering properties of rocks and soils, and more.
Contact the Academic Advising and Transfer Center to declare a certificate in engineering geology.
This certificate will allow geology majors to document additional competencies relevant to careers in the geotechnical and civil/environmental engineering fields. Engineering students will gain additional perspectives on the geological aspects of civil engineering. Students from related majors interested in careers in the geotechnical industry will also gain career-relevant skills that complement their area of major study.
Note: The GLG prerequisites for GLG 573, 572, 580 and 590 may be waived for non-geology majors at the discretion of the department head, assuming that student has already completed GLG 110 and any MTH prerequisites for the course.
Note: Students in the cooperative engineering program may contact the Geography, Geology, and Planning department head to request a substitution for GLG 572.
Attain a grade of C or better in all courses used to fulfill the certificate requirements.
