Our mission

The geology department seeks to support the University of St. Thomas mission by providing a challenging program that welcomes all students into science, allows students to grow as individuals and stewards of the planet, and creates scientifically-informed problem-solvers.

Linking our mission to the St. Thomas' mission


At a recent gathering of UST geology alums, Tom Hickson (Department Chair) gave an address making clear the connection between these two mission statements.  For complete text of that address, click here.
