Why study Geology? Check out this video from the American Geological Institute.Welcome to GCC's Geology Program! We are research, industry, and academic geologists dedicated to community education. We offer lower division (Freshman/Sophomore) courses in Geology to serve the needs of:
Our courses are taught, in-person, by experienced geologists with immense collections of minerals, rocks, fossils, and other demonstration materials, and use state of the art instructional technologies. Although we may pursue other geologic research, our first priority is the education of our students. We are routinely available outside of class time. We also take advantage of Arizona's spectacular geologic setting to provide the opportunity for real-time field observation of many geological features. Check out these award-winning MCCTV videos documenting just a few of our many Field Courses and Extra Credit Field Trips.
