• Classes in the Geosciences program at Southeast are taught by well-trained and experienced faculty who have participated in research and who are experts in such areas as soil reactions, artic soil genesis, geophysics, earthquake seismology and environmental assessment.

• Our area boasts many research venues for those studying soils and geosciences. The St. Francis Mountains, an hour to the west, is the site of a complex of Precambrian igneous rocks. The eastern flank of the Ozark Dome exposes a section of Paleozoic strata dominated by carbonates and hosting world-class Mississippi-Valley type lead deposits.  To the south, Mesozoic and Cenozoic strata are exposed in Crowleys Ridge and the New Madrid Seismic Zone passes through the Bootheel of Missouri and into Tennessee and Arkansas.

• Geoscientists have the opportunity to work in diverse situations in many parts of the world. The responsibilities in Geosciences-related fields are broad and you may find yourself working in the field, laboratory, office or all three.
