You know that playing with rocks isn’t just for kids. At Michigan Tech, applied geophysics majors do crazy-smart stuff like conduct site investigations using advanced geophysical techniques and state-of-the-art technology. The construction of dams, roads, buildings, landfills, and waste repositories; mining for precious metals; and drilling for oil and gas—it all depends on you.
In addition, you’ll take ten credits of field geology courses to prepare you for real work activities—one reason why employers feel Michigan Tech graduates are so well prepared. Your experiences at Michigan Tech will prepare you pursue careers in industry, government, the Peace Corps, or for further education in graduate school.
