BA in Geology in Philadelphia United States | Temple University

The Bachelor of Arts (BA) program caters to liberal arts students focusing on geology, offering studies in groundwater, minerals, and physical geology. Ideal for pre-med, pre-law, and future secondary school earth science educators, this degree requires fewer credits than the BS, allowing room for electives. Note that the BA is not designed for aspiring professional geologists. Through the College of Science and Technology's Geology BA or BS programs, students master core geological principles. Geologists employ field and lab work to analyze Earth's physical, chemical, and biological evolution and its modern impacts. Coursework explores energy resources, environmental conservation, natural hazards (volcanoes, storms, floods), and climate change. Customize your path with advanced courses aligned with your aspirations, readying you for graduate studies or careers in policy, research, or development.
