Bachelor's Degree
The Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences provides both Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts degrees in geology. The BS program caters to students planning to pursue graduate studies and careers as professional geoscientists. A geology undergraduate education also proves valuable for diverse fields including precollege teaching, urban development, legal professions, civil engineering, environmental research, and museum careers. Those targeting such paths may prefer the BA program, which covers core geological principles while requiring fewer supplementary courses typically needed for graduate school admission.
