What classes should a student take in high school if he or she is interested in majoring in geology in college?
A high school college-prep program, including a background in math through algebra II and trigonometry, and four years of science (including coordinated science 9 and 10 in West Virginia and other choices from a menu that might include biology, chemistry, earth science, or physics) will generally prepare a student to begin a college program in geology. In college, many geology departments require additional math (often at the calculus level) and science (such as chemistry and physics) as part of their degree programs. Additionally, the ability to use a computer is a must for today’s geologists. The potential geology major should take every opportunity to learn to use computer hardware and software.
