About the course

Students in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences may take one of two paths to obtain the BS degree in Geology and Environmental Studies. The first is the concentration in geology. This concentration emphasizes the physical, chemical, and biological processes on and in the Earth. The geology concentration has prerequisites and corequisites to provide the student with background in the physical and biological sciences, a set of core courses to introduce students to the application of those sciences to the study of the Earth, and a set of electives to expose the student to the specialties in geology. A student in the geology concentration is also required to take a course in field geology, generally taken during the summer term. Students concentrating in environmental studies also take prerequisites and corequisites to prepare the student for the broad range of scientific and societal aspects of Earth's environment. The curriculum draws from courses in the biological sciences, Earth sciences, and social sciences to introduce the student to environmental studies. The student also selects courses of interest in environmental studies. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
