    PhD Programs in Geology

    Geology is a branch of Earth science that emphasizes the study of the physical characteristics of the Earth as well as the movement and formation of rocks and other solid features contained therein.

    Botswana is located in southern Africa and has made significant progress in developing its higher education system. The discovery of diamonds substantially increased revenue for the nation, and much of this revenue has been funneled into improving schools and colleges.

    The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
