<p>University of Oklahoma has strong programs in both geology and geophysics. Here’s the degree plans for both majors: [Undergraduate</a> Degrees - Geology and Geophysics - The University of Oklahoma](<a href=“http://www.ou.edu/content/mcee/geology/academics/undergraduate_degrees.html]Undergraduate”>http://www.ou.edu/content/mcee/geology/academics/undergraduate_degrees.html)</p>
<p>Geophysics is more quantitative than geology and places a higher emphasis on technology than does geology. </p>
<p>Here’s a good, but incomplete overview of the differences between geology and geophysics: [Geology</a> and Geophysics - Geophysics Forum](<a href=“Geophysics Forum - Index page”>Geophysics Forum - Index page)</p>
<p>If you’re not already in college, I’d recommend going to a school that has both geology and geophysics, or offers sufficient courses in geophysics (eg, Carleton, Claremont Colleges, Auburn, etc). That way you can explore both fields and decide whether one interests you more than the other.</p>
