The majority of geologists are college graduates with a Bachelor of Science degree, and they are usually expected to then get a Master of Science degree. They have attended a university where they majored in the physical and Earth Sciences, taking as many geology-related courses as possible; they also have done field work (internships) where they learned to apply what they had learned in the classroom.

Geologists typically have a bachelor's degree in geology or a related field. Many geologists also pursue advanced degrees such as a Master's or Ph.D. to further specialize in a particular area of geology. Field experience and internships are also valuable qualifications for geologists.

Typically they will hold a BSc as a minimum qualification and may also hold postgraduate / masters degrees such as MSci / MSc / MGeol as well as research postgraduate degrees such as MPhil / MRES and PhD.

Professionally qualified geologists will also be members or fellows of the relevant professional body (for example in the UK this is the Geological Society) and be entitled to use the post nominal CGeol which stands for chartered geologist.

=========================================================

A geologist can only become chartered after several years of mentored work across a wide spectrum of work, plus a viva-voce with a group of very experienced geologists
