Weber State University is a primarily undergraduate institution located at
the foot of the Wasatch Mountains
in Ogden, Utah. For more than five decades, the institution has
successfully maintained a dual mission by
offering a wide range of baccalaureate programs and also by meeting
regional community college needs.
The Department of Geosciences embraces both missions through its programs
(see

new science building
scheduled for completion in 2016. Ogden is a beautiful city with a rich
culture and history, and is 45 minutes
from Salt Lake City and its international airport. An average of 223 sunny
days a year and immediate access
to skiing, biking, camping, hiking, and fishing make it an outdoor
paradise. More information about the Ogden
area may be found at www.visitogden.com.
