The K-State Geology Department has been preparing its students for careers and advanced studies in the profession for over 60 years, and their successes have made us proud. Our alumni---and alumnae---are all over the world, and show their appreciation for their time here in many important ways.

We make the K-State experience more than a program of study, with careful and caring advisement, mentoring, social activities, and a common interest in career advancement. Indeed, much of what our students take away is acquired from their fellow students, the first steps toward the networking so important in our turbulent, and exciting, profession.

Our department has recently had an infusion of new ideas, talents, and enthusiasm, with four new faculty added in the past three years, and a fifth to be hired as soon as the economy recovers from the recent downturns. We now have cutting-edge expertise in chemical hydrogeology, volcanology, exploration seismic and near surface geophysics, Late Pleistocene age-dating, and field geology, as well as geoscience education, petroleum geology, climate changes, tidal sedimentation processes, biomineralization, and many others. Many of these research areas have room for more students. If you're looking for a good master's degree topic, talk with us!

So, if you are interested in furthering your education at a school where the students are truly valued, at both undergraduate and graduate levels, let us know. We'll be looking for your inquiries.
