Course Schedule

Introductory geology courses, including Geology of Hawaii (Geol 205), are offered every semester. We do not offer a traditional summer field camp, but a Volcano Monitoring Course (Geol 470) is offered every summer. The schedule for geology core courses is listed below.

In addition to the core courses, one or two upper-division electives are offered each semester. Possible electives include advanced environmental geology, geoloy of North America, geophysics, surface water, groundwater, GIS, remote sensing, and planetary geology. UH-Hilo has strong programs in astronomy, geography, and marine science. Some students may want to minor or double major in these disciplines.
