Geology is the study of the Earth — its composition, evolution, history and uniqueness among other planets in our solar system. Offerings in Geology provide an introduction for the non-science major as well as supplement the curriculum for science majors seeking careers in the environmental field. Geology complements the Environmental Studies major curriculum.

Students conducting research side-by-side with faculty has been an Alma College legacy for generations. Alma students team up with faculty on scholarly research or to collaborate on creative or performing arts projects. An annual Honors Day features student presentations, performances and exhibits. Many students present such work at regional, national and international meetings.
