Brief Description of Geological Program

The Geological Sciences Program is considered one of the most important programs developed within the establishment of the College of Petroleum and Natural Resources. This program falls within the Department of Earth Sciences and was developed to accommodate scientific and practical variables and the requirements of the labor market. It is essentially obligated to provide students with an integrated scientific subject of modern theories and technical skills as a solid foundation for their practical future.

This program consists of 133 credit hours, including a graduation project of 4 hours. This program leads to three specialized tracks at the fourth level, as the following:

Geophysics; 2. Hydrogeology; 3. Petroleum Geology

The goal of these tracks is to create a diversity of specializations to accommodate the desires and trends of students and the labor market.
