Curriculum
　

　The curriculum of our department focuses on the theory and technique to read unknown information recorded in the earth. Therefore, we make a point of experiments, laboratories, and field excursions as well as lectures. The most important subject in university is a graduating research because it contains true college education which is achieved by various knowledge and technique arose from many lectures and experiments. We prepare various lectures to learn earth sciences. You can also choose other subject including a teaching course.
　We have many field works, 2 excursions in the first year, 4 excursions in the second year, and the earth science laboratory including an experiment and field excursion in the third year. We also provide the lecture "Geological Surveying" which imposes 20-days field surveying to draw a geological map and a report on a student. In graduating researches, students study rocks, strata, fossils, and minerals to reveal processes or environments producing them.
