What would you change about the program?Text ResponseTell students about research, and make it easier to get ahead after graduationmore geop class for undergraduatesThe program needs more application to realy world problems in industry. Make paleobiology an elective, and Petroleum Geology required. In this day and age with our local (read: Houston is an hour away) economy so heavily based on oil and gas, we should be required to learn more about the industry that the majority of us will end up working in.i feel the classes are a bit scatter... you get a little test of everything and this makes it a little bit hard for you to decide a specific field. Some people are more physical oriented and i thing they be given classes that are oriented toward physical geology other are more chemical oriented and they care more about rock chemistry than physical processes, and they should be exposed to more of this classes as undergrads.
