We are a vibrant community of undergraduate and graduate students pursuing a variety of educational goals in the geosciences including successful futures in industry, consulting, government and graduate school.

Prospective Students

Boise, Idaho’s capitol, is consistently ranked at the top of the country or region in national surveys and major magazines as a place to live and recreate.

Interested prospective undergraduate students should visit the Department’s Undergraduate Admissions and apply directly through the Boise State University Undergraduate Admissions process.

Prospective students interested in any of our Geosciences Graduate Degree Programs should directly contact individual faculty in their discipline of interest and follow the admissions process. Many of our graduate students receive financial assistance – teaching assistantships, research assistantships, traineeships or part-time professional employment with the department.
