Bachelor of Arts in Earth Science

Estados Unidos

O que eu aprenderei?

The Bachelor of Arts degree in Earth Science is ideal for students interested in an interdisciplinary basic science leading to potential careers in allied environmental, ecological or earth system fields. The program requires a minimum of 21 credit hours of biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics; and 30 credit hours of geology, including courses in oceanography, minerals, rocks, fossils and landforms. A geography sequence is also required. A capstone field course is not required; however, most geology courses have extensive (one-to-three-day) excursions that allow students to obtain valuable field experience.

Graduates have opportunities for employment in a wide variety of careers where an understanding of natural science is useful or critical in success. Earth science can be a strong background for advanced study or career development in areas such as business, city management, regional development, planning, law, journalism and science writing.

Graduates of this program will be able to:

  • Understand and communicate to others: a. the nature of scientific investigation and evidence, b. the complex interrelationships of the biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and the lithosphere through geologic time.
  • Understand Earth materials and interpret geologic and environmental processes.
  • Synthesize geologic information to understand and solve geologic and environmental problems.
  • Students will demonstrate critical thinking skills and be able to work as a geologist in the field and in the laboratory.
