Administrative History

The Department of Geology (1968-2006) was an instructional unit at Brigham Young University.

The Department of Geology was formed in 1968 in a reorganization of the earlier Department of Geology and Geological Engineering Science in the College of Physical and Engineering Sciences. The department offered bachelor degrees in earth science, geology, and geological engineering. In 1973 the department was transferred to the newly formed College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. In 2006 the department was renamed as the Department of Geological Sciences.

Department chairs included Lehi F. Hintze (1968-1970), J. Keith Rigby (1970-1973), W. Revell Phillips (1973-1975), Morris S. Petersen (1975-1983), Wade E. Miller (1983-1991), Dana T. Griffin (1991-1997), Bart J. Kowallis (1997-2003), and Jeffrey D. Keith (2003-2006).
