Bachelor of Science in Planetary Geoscience

Program Overview

The B.S. in Planetary Geoscience will prepare students for science and industry careers in the rapidly expanding field of planetary science and exploration (including Earth and its Moon, the planets, their satellites, and myriad minor bodies in the solar system; as well as exoplanetary systems). The curriculum will build on a foundation of mathematics, physics and chemistry; it will comprise fundamental training in Earth materials, structures, and processes; and it will provide advanced study of the physical and chemical evolution of the Solar System and advanced course options focused on particular planetary bodies and planetary topics. The curriculum will culminate in a capstone research experience and advanced fieldwork in relevant Earth settings. Students will take courses from faculty in two internationally recognized, top-rated departments - Planetary Science and Geosciences - with opportunities for transdisciplinary mentorship and advisement.

Learning Outcomes

Identify the planets and classes of minor objects and describe key features associated with them.
Explain the physical processes governing solar system dynamics.
Relate the chemical makeup of planetary bodies to the formation and evolution of the solar system.
Solve quantitative problems related to the geological processes that have shaped planetary landscapes.
Collect, analyze, and interpret data through research or field work.

Work Permit

PGWP

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.
