Tufts University Department of Geology Courses
Students considering a major in Geology or Geological Sciences should discuss their course selections with Anne Gardulski, Jack Ridge or Bert Reuss. This is important because upper level courses are offered in alternate years. Careful planning should give you the opportunity to participate in more course offerings. The listing below is an estimate of which courses will be taught in future semesters, they are not guaranteed.
