Mineralogy
The mineralogy course focuses on the study of minerals, the basic components of the earth's crust.
Students will be introduced to fundamental concepts of mineralogy, including the atomic structure of minerals, the geological and chemical processes that lead to their formation, the techniques used to identify them, and the study of their different groups.
