Eight of these twelve programs offer options specifically directed to geotechnique. The other four geological engineering programs have no designated concentrations and combine geotechnical areas of study with mineral exploration, petroleum exploration, and/or applied geophysics. All twelve programs are regulated by the engineering or applied science faculty at their respective universities. However, most of the programs are housed or administered, in whole or in part, by the department of geology or earth sciences at the university.The geological engineering programs at all twelve universities are designed around a nucleus of basic mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Added to this are a large number of fundamental geology and basic engineering courses. These are complemented by a number of geotechnical, technical, and non-technical courses.The presentation compares and contrasts the 1981–1982 curricula of the twelve undergraduate programs.
