This Bachelor of Science program prepares students for graduate studies or careers in Earth and Environmental Sciences, geology, geochemistry, or geophysics. It builds fundamental computational, analytical, and field observation skills crucial for earth science disciplines. The interdisciplinary curriculum combines chemistry, physics, and mathematics to explore Earth systems.
The Earth Sciences BS demands 124 credit hours (four years of full-time study), with 48 credits in the ERTH program. Requirements include an introductory geology lab course, ten upper-level ERTH classes, a two-credit research seminar, and eleven elective credits. Students may select approved courses from other STEM fields as electives with advisor approval. A summer field course (highly recommended) and optional thesis are available. Supporting science prerequisites (28-29 credits) in physics, chemistry, biology, and calculus should be completed early in the program.

Qualification Requirements
To be considered for admission, you must have completed or are in the process of completing secondary school with a cumulative or overall grade point average (GPA) that is comparable to a US grade of B (3.00 on a 4.00 scale) or higher. The Admissions Committee will also be looking at the grades/marks you have received for Mathematics and Science courses.
All official transcripts, examination certifications (e.g., General Certificate of Education) and other documents showing all high school and any completed post-secondary work must be submitted to the Office of Admissions. All official transcripts must be mailed directly by the institution or Ministry of Education to the Office of Admissions. Documents mailed or hand carried by you or anyone else will not be accepted as official or used for admission consideration.
Secondary school transcripts must include a list of courses taken and grades/internal marks received each year, class rank for the last four years of secondary school, and an explanation of the school's grading system. If transcripts with annual internal marks are unavailable directly from the school, you may photocopy your mark sheets or grade reports and have them certified by a school official who verifies that a transcript is otherwise not available.
