Bachelor of Science in Geosciences with Concentration in Geospatial Science

Program Overview

Geosciences is the study of the Earth in all its complexities, from the investigation of minerals and rocks, natural resources, evolution of plants and animals, climate change, natural hazards caused by earthquakes, horrendous weather, or careless human engineering, to the tools of geospatial science used to map out and visually portray our land. It is a fundamental science for humans to appreciate, understand, and utilize in order to have a functioning society.

The department offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Geosciences. This degree program brings together depth and breadth of Geosciences and does so by offering four concentrations: Geospatial Science, Paleontology, Geology & Environment, and Geography. Geospatial science is an applied science taught throughout all the concentrations and is found to be highly beneficial in obtaining employment, be it in geosciences, urban planning, public health, anthropology, sociology, engineering, or among a host of federal and state government agencies.

The study of earth’s geology related to environment is taught in the concentration, Geology & Environment. It applies knowledge of geology in solving environmental problems occurring due to natural and human induced hazards. Graduates from Geology and Environment work for consulting industries, state and local government agencies such as geological surveys, department of transportation, and department of environment and conservation.

ETSU’s graduates in the geosciences with a good background in geospatial sciences and geology and environment typically obtain jobs right after graduation. Graduates in paleontology often continue with advanced degrees in the profession.

Double counting of courses for the major and minor are permitted when utilizing a minor offered by the Department of Geosciences.

Optional Practical Training or OPT is a period during which students, who have completed their degrees in the USA, are permitted to work for one year on a student visa by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). OPT allows students to work for up to 3 years and develop real-world skills to survive in the competitive jobs market.

It is temporary employment for a period of 12-months that is directly related to the major area of study of an F-1 student. Eligible students have the option to apply for OPT employment authorization before completing their academic studies and/or after completing their academic studies.

A student can participate in three types of Optional Practical Training (OPT):

Pre-Completion OPT: This is temporary employment provided to F-1 students before completion of their course of study.
Post-Completion OPT: This is temporary employment available to F-1 students after completing their course of study.
24 Month STEM Extension: Students enrolled in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) courses can a 24-month extension after their initial Post-Completion OPT authorization.
