The
department offers two
graduate programs, the Master of Science in Geology and the Doctor of Philosophy
in Applied Geology. Each year, the 17 full-time faculty members
support about 30 graduate students who pursue a broad range of research
interests in Ohio or at field sites throughout the world.
Approximately half of the faculty focus on Paleontology, Sedimentation,
and Tectonics. The department's other major focus involves the study of
Hydrology, Geochemistry, and Engineering Geology.
Interdisciplinary research opportunities are available through Kent State
University's Water
Resources Research Institute (WRRI), which provides access to
professors
and specialized research laboratories in the Departments of Geology,
Biological
Sciences, Chemistry, and Geography. Students interested in Earth
Science and Earth Science Education can find opportunities in the NSF
funded Graduate K-12 Program jointly run with the Department of
Geography.
