About the Geology Program
Explore Earth’s formation, materials, and changing environments through Geology coursework at Texas A&M University–San Antonio. Students examine plate tectonics, landforms, climate, natural resources, and the processes that connect Earth’s interior, oceans, and atmosphere.
Course offerings include Earth Sciences I and II, accompanying laboratory courses, and selected and advanced topics in geology. This coursework complements other academic studies and does not independently confer a degree. Students should consult an academic advisor about course selection and laboratory corequisites.

Key Distinctions
Earth Sciences courses integrate concepts from mathematics, chemistry, biology, and physics while introducing scientific discovery through local field trips, sample collection, and data interpretation. Accompanying laboratories emphasize observation, measurement, scientific communication, and collaboration. Selected and advanced topics courses offer opportunities to explore current developments within faculty areas of expertise, with instructor approval.
