Majors and Programs - Cloned

The department offers courses leading to the Bachelor of Arts (A.B.) and Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees in geology. In addition, we sponsor a number of minor programs and are home to the Marine and Coastal Science major.

We have reciprocal exchange agreements with several international universities, providing both undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to study abroad as part of their education.

Following a Path to Science
A student perspective on research at UC Davis Bodega Marine Lab.
"As a child, I loved learning about geology, meteorology, and astronomy, as they were both fascinating and easy to experience. I always knew that I wanted to go to college and study science, though it wasn’t so simple in reality."
