DescriptionStudy volcanoes in Italy, spend ten days on the Antigonish highlands with the geology field school, or take part in an international collaboration with geologists from Mongolia as part of our exchange program; the Geology program at Saint Mary’s offers these opportunities and more.


Geology is the study of the Earth, its components and the processes that affect it. Geologists seek to understand the Earth and its physical, chemical and biological evolution. Geologists can choose from a very diverse range of careers, including mineral and hydrocarbon exploration, engineering and environmental consulting, volcanology, seismology and other geological, process-based research. They often divide their time among work in the field, the lab and the office.
