Undergraduate courses at most Universities are held in large lecture halls where the Professor never learns your name. Kean University’s Geology Department is unique due to its low student to professor ratio which builds an influential relationship between faculty and us – the students. Undergraduate students have the extraordinary opportunity to work independently on research projects guided by faculty. Our Geology Department field trips’, to unique regional sites, enriches the learning experience by supplementing skills developed in lectures and cultivated in labs. Additionally, field work is an integral component of the holistic learning experience you can expect as a student in our Department. The complete experience offered by Kean University’s Geology Department prepares students to excel in a complex and challenging earth science career.
