GEGEO Degree Program in Equatorial Guinea
The collaborative UNGE
USC GEGEO (Guinea Ecuatorial GEOciencia) Program, now four years old, has
enrolled 45 students at GEGEO UNGE and eight students at GEGEO USC. The Program
funds a Geology Instructor, Dr. Martin Llano, and various English instructors.
The UNGE program provides undergraduate classes in geology, English, and hard
sciences.
The GEGEO geotechnical engineering degree program covers math, physics,
chemistry, geology, petroleum geology, fluid mechanics, stratigraphy, petrology,
marine geology, drilling, geomorphology, geophysics, GIS, geochemistry,
hydrology, environmental impact, and English. All English instruction is by a
native English speaker.
UNGE Computer Laboratory and Satellite Link
With Arcadia
University’s leadership, UNGE established a modern computer laboratory with a
VSAT satellite link that provided internet access at UNGE. The GEGEO program
supported the VSAT satellite link.
Now the GEGEO Program is creating a new computer lab with new computers, and
UNGE is providing DSL internet service. The new lab will expand GEGEO
programming and instruction in the near future. The GEGEO program also pays for
a full time computer lab manager and technician.
