The geology specialization within the Ocean & Earth Sciences B.S. program caters to students with diverse career aspirations across scientific, engineering, business, and artistic fields. Those pursuing careers in geological disciplines such as environmental geology, marine geoscience, hydrogeology, geophysics, geochemistry, and geobiology should select coursework that aligns with professional geologist certification requirements (detailed below). Aspiring graduate students in these areas should similarly tailor their academic preparation. Students particularly interested in applying geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing technologies to geological studies may want to explore combining the geology concentration with a geography minor, or the coastal environment spatial analysis certificate program, which focuses on these methodological approaches.
