Because structural geology and tectonics are frequently related to most other branches of geology, the additional courses in your program will be selected according to your interests.
Structural Geology-Tectonics program is a COOPERATIVE program with Department of Geological Sciences at University of Idaho.
Required Courses, M.S. and Ph.D:
| Geol 540 | (3) | Tectonics |
| Geol 541 | (3) | Structural Analysis |
| Geol 559 | (3) | Geodynamics |
| Geol 592 | (V) | Advanced Topics in Structural Geology |
Additional Courses:
Further mathematics, statistics, GIS, computer courses are strongly recommended as electives. Other courses strongly recommended in the Structural Geology-Tectonics area include:
| Geol 542 | (3) | Geomechanics |
| Geol 546 | (3) | Fault Mechanics |
