Paleontology - ICP
About This Certificate
To be proficient in paleontology, students need a core understanding of Earth history, as well as sedimentation and stratigraphy.
In addition, there are multiple added skills and knowledge sets that usefully build upon this core. The series of elective courses provides the possibility of studying a broad range of specific topics relevant to paleontology, while also providing a focus in fossil identification.
A special feature of the certificate is the availability of hands-on research and internship experiences with our faculty and through the Prehistoric Museum at USU Eastern.
