Bachelor's Degree
The Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences provides bachelor's degree options in both science and arts for geology students. The science track prepares students for advanced studies and careers as professional geologists. A geology undergraduate education also proves valuable for diverse fields including secondary education, urban development, legal professions, civil engineering, environmental research, and museum curation. Those pursuing these alternative paths may prefer the arts program, which covers core geological concepts while requiring fewer supplementary courses typically needed for graduate school admission.
