Page Range: 72 – 74
Austin Peay State University is a small school, founded 56 years ago. While geology has long been taught, major programs are less than a decade old. Despite small size and shallow historical roots, the earth science faculty have been able to participate in the evolution of American geology through publication and through work on NSF projects. Many small colleges have comparable histories.
