I can't say enough positive things about CSUB's Geology Department. My education there has served me incredibly well. The faculty and staff take advantage of the amazing California geology, diverse local industry, abundant research opportunities, and their own expertise to provide a great academic experience for students. I would (and do!) recommend CSUB Geology to anyone. Close Quote
