The above degrees meet the degree/coursework requirements in many states, and may also prepare students for the Fundamentals of Geology examination administered by the Association of State Boards of Geology. In addition to coursework and exams, some states also have additional requirements for licensure, including other examinations and professional experience. We recommend students contact the appropriate state licensing agency in their state or the state where they intend to work to seek the most up-to-date information about state licensure/certification requirements before beginning the program.
