Geological Sciences
NOTE:
The University at Albany does not now offer courses and
degrees in this field of knowledge.
This web page and those linked below it on this website are
offered for the historical record, and for the archival
information they contain about the former Department of
Geological Sciences, and the people who contributed to it.
If you are seeking a Geological Sciences program
within the SUNY system, you will no longer find it at Albany. The
Stony Brook, Binghamton, and Buffalo university centers offer
graduate study in Geological Sciences. At SUNY 4-year colleges, New Paltz, Oneonta,
and Plattsburgh,
among others, maintain (as of 2025) undergraduate programs in
Geology. Within the NY Capital District, two introductory geology
courses are offered at HVCC [in
AS Physical Sciences - Earth Science track]; in private
colleges, undergraduate programs are found at Union College, and RPI; College of St Rose closed
permanently in 2024, having closed admission to its Geology and
Earth Science programs in December 2015. Students in the NY Capital
District intending to qualify as high school earth science teachers
are recommended to contact the program at Union College for geology
courses; otherwise the nearest SUNY colleges offering significant
education in the geological sciences are those mentioned above.
