About Us

SEC external

The ConocoPhillips School of Geology and Geophysics (CPSGG), part of the Mewbourne School of Earth and Energy, is located in the Sarkeys Energy Center on the main campus of the University of Oklahoma.  Founded in 1900 by Charles Gould, the department has been a leader in the Geological Sciences for over a century.  Today the School's 19 full-time faculty and 9 emeritus and cooperating faculty mentor approximately 115 graduate students and 144 undergraduate students.

The historical strength of the School has been its education and research in petroleum related fields; we have graduated over 5,000 practicing geologists and geophysicists.  Today the School continues to rank among top schools nationwide in placement of graduates in the energy industry. Over the last decade, however, the School has worked diligently to increase its diversity in fields of Earth Science research. Presently, our research programs in geochemistry and mineralogy, crustal-scale geophysics, diagenesis, paleoecology, and paleoclimate are highly regarded in their own right and increase the scope of educational opportunities for graduates and undergraduates.

The School's mission is to deliver the highest quality education obtainable in the discipline and to prepare its graduates for successful and rewarding careers in industry, education, and government service. While maintaining the breadth needed for a first-rate earth science program, the School will further enhance its leadership role as one of the premier professional schools for research and career placement in the oil and gas industries.
This statement conveys the fact that we will continue to be recognized for our involvement in energy research and career placement, but that we have remained committed to diversification. This statement conveys the fact that we will continue to be recognized for our involvement in energy research and career placement, but that we remain committed to diversification. This diversification has led to the creation of additional research labs, a broader base of student education, and areas of excellence that have not previously been part of the School's history
