The Department of Geosciences offers both the bachelor of science (BS) and the bachelor of arts (BA) degrees in Geology. The bachelor of science program is designed for those who expect to become professional geologists and/or continue in graduate work. Undergraduate training in geology is beneficial in many other fields such as teaching at the pre-college level, urban planning, law, civil engineering, environmental studies, and museum work. Students preparing for these or similar areas are advised to take the bachelor of arts program, which is strong in fundamental geology but does not provide the ancillary math and science requirements for admission for most graduate study in geology.
