Partnerships
HSU Geology is a unique program, not only because of its location, but because of its partnerships with a number of agencies, offices, and programs dedicated to geologic studies.
Students gain real world experience working with these groups, and make connections that go beyond their college experience. The work also provides valuable information to academics, the media, and the public about safety, preparedness, and more.
