"From the moment I stepped onto campus, every professor, staff member, and student I encountered treated me with such genuine warmth and respect, as if I were already a valued member of their community. Despite not having officially joined the EIU family, I immediately felt a deep sense of belonging. The atmosphere was one of comfort and inclusivity, where everyone seemed genuinely invested in my success and well-being."Abbey McCordGeology | Class of 2025
Geology is the study of Earth, its materials, its history and the processes that continue to shape it. In the Geology minor, you’ll learn how scientists use rocks, minerals, fossils, landforms and other evidence to understand how our planet has changed over time. You’ll build a foundation in Earth history, mineralogy and petrology while exploring the forces that shape landscapes and geologic structures.
