BA in Geology in Logan United States | Utah State University

Geology is a branch of Earth Science focused on analyzing the solid Earth, including its makeup, evolution, architecture, and relationships with water systems, air layers, and living organisms. This field combines insights from biology, chemistry, engineering, mathematics, and physics to understand Earth's processes. Professionals in geology assist in securing energy, mineral, and water supplies while assessing and reducing risks from natural disasters like quakes, floods, slope failures, and volcanic activity, along with addressing waste management and planetary environmental shifts. For a BS degree, students must finish all major coursework, while a BA additionally requires demonstrating competency in one or more non-native languages.
