Course Description: Geological Technology is a program that prepares students for careers in the exploration, extraction, and processing of minerals and natural resources. Students learn about Geology, mineralogy, and Mining Engineering.. Depending on the institution, this course can be covered with different depths and focuses.

Geological Technology competitiveness is low. This means it is relatively easy to get into because few students are interested in the course but this does not translate to higher admission rate neither does this means the course is easy. Alternatively, some school may give student admission in related courses if the space is filled up and if they have the expected subject combinations…. Nevertheless, The admission rate for Geological Technology is typically around 70-80%, but it can differ between different institutions.

Some institutions have a higher acceptance rate, whereas others might have a lesser one. The rate of acceptance is greatly affected by factors such as the course’s popularity, its competitiveness, and the reputation of the school itself.
