The study of geology includes time invariant processes following the laws of physical science, but it is tempered by the recognition that these processes occur in a complex framework, the result of previous geologic history. The need to understand both history and process makes geology inherently interdisciplinary. To allow maximum interdisciplinary study, the geological sciences major consists of two tracks. The geology track covers the core areas of geological sciences and still allows ample opportunity for students to specialize through additional courses in math and allied sciences. The environmental geology track covers the fundamentals of environmental and geological sciences and thereby provides the best opportunity for students whose interests span both disciplines.
