The doctorate's program in geology consists of (54) credit hours, including (18) compulsory credit hours and (18) optional hours, in addition to (18) credit hours for the doctorate's thesis. The program focuses on preparing students who are able to engage in the field of geology or academic work.
The Department of Geology and Minerals was established in 1973 (currently known as the Department of Geology). The purpose of its establishment was to provide Jordanians with the opportunity to study geology in their own country and to assist Jordanian geologists coming from other universities in understanding and further studying Jordan's geology. Additionally, the department aimed to conduct applied geological research, explore mineral resources, study rocks, layers, geological structures, and groundwater, and collaborate with various institutions, agencies, ministries, companies, universities, and research centers involved in geological work in Jordan (both public and private).
Over the past years, the department has prepared and graduated a large number of highly knowledgeable and practically experienced human resources in its field of specialization at all levels: bachelor's, master's, and doctorate. These graduates have gone on to work in various locations that require such human resources locally, and their expertise has also been utilized in development programs in sister Arab countries. Additionally, they have worked in global research centers and exploration companies.
The department currently has 15 faculty members whose specializations cover various fields of geology comprehensively. In addition, there are many master's and bachelor's degree holders who assist in supervising practical laboratory teaching and operating the complex equipment and laboratory facilities necessary for scientific research and experimentation at the university. Since 1999, the Environmental and Applied Geology program has been adopted for both the undergraduate and graduate plans. Currently, the Department of Geology has 340 undergraduate students, 17 master's students, 17 doctoral students, and 10 students in the Master's program in Environmental Science and Management.
