Discover LSU Geology.
Geology is often called the foundational earth science because of its essential role in understanding our planet’s history, its natural resources, natural hazards, and the dynamic processes that shape the world around us. One of the most valuable facets of our undergraduate geology program is the emphasis on hands-on field experience. Through LSU’s renowned field camp, students gain real-world skills as they map, measure, and interpret geologic features directly in the field—an immersive experience that brings classroom learning to life. Each of our geology concentrations offers comprehensive preparation for careers in environmental consulting, energy and resource exploration, geotechnical industries, government agencies, education, and graduate study in the Earth sciences.
