"I had many teachers when I was growing up who went to EIU, and I heard they had an excellent Geology department. Plus the campus is close to home. I grew to love EIU an immense amount with my time here."Addy GambillGeology | Class of 2026
Geology is the scientific study of Earth's composition, history, structure, and dynamic processes. It analyzes rocks, minerals, and landforms to understand how the planet has, and continues to, change over time. This discipline helps locate vital natural resources and investigates and predicts geological hazards like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
