What students say:

"I love the Jackson School because you get to know all of your peers, TAs, and professors on a personal level. You can walk down the hall and see at least five people that you know, all in a matter of 30 seconds."
—Liz Dunn, B.S. candidate, general geology.

Academic Community

The Jackson School offers students the benefits of a small college within a major research university. Through shared field work, core courses, close ties to professors, and a home base in the Geology Building, Jackson School students forge a strong community. The communal atmosphere of the school may look like a lot of fun to outsiders—and it is—but it’s also sound preparation for professional geoscience, where collaboration, networking, and mutual support for lifelong learning are keys to success.
