Geological Sciences Major, B.A.–Earth Science

专业介绍

The B.A. in Geological Sciences provides an interdisciplinary understanding of how Earth’s systems operate and change, from mountains to oceans. The major emphasizes broad scientific literacy, environmental problem‑solving, and connections between natural processes and human society.

Students choose from a range of courses related to geology, hydrology, environmental change, coastal processes, and marine biology/ecology. Through these classes students develop skills in scientific reasoning, critical analysis, observation, and communication.

The curriculum prepares students for careers in environmental policy, conservation, sustainability, education, communication, nonprofit work, and resource management, as well as for environmentally focused graduate study. Grounded in a Mountains‑to‑Sea perspective, the program equips graduates to interpret environmental challenges, integrate diverse forms of evidence, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
