About the Department

The Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences works closely with our students in one of the largest geoscience departments in the southeast.  Our students are engaged in geological disciplines throughout their tenure at the College of Charleston through undergraduate research projects, unique travel courses, and through our many collaborative projects with private companies and local, state, and federal agencies.  Our program has a uniquely family-like atmosphere that doesn't terminate upon graduation.  Many alumni stay in touch through our alumni newsletter and interact with current students through Senior Seminar and in the field.
