As far as majoring in geophysics for undergrad, not all schools offer it that is why there are plenty of geology majors that go on to grad school for geophysics. You don’t necessarily need to be a physics of geophysics major to be accepted to a MS/PhD geophysics program. As far as schools for petroleum geology undergraduate, Texas A&M University is the place to be. It has a large and diverse department and plenty of undergrad research (not just for petroleum geology). It prepared me well for my MS geology program at another school
