Bachelor of Science in Environmental Geosciences
Program Overview
This degree program is designed to prepare students for scientific careers or graduate study in geology and/or environmental science. The curriculum includes a comprehensive geology core that qualifies graduates to apply for licensure as a professional environmental geologist through ASBOG (Association of State Boards of Geology). Students will acquire field, laboratory, and computer skills necessary for long-term employment in the environmental, engineering, geospatial, energy, and geologic workforce.
Geoscience is the study of the Earth, including its resources, fresh water, oceans, and atmosphere. As outlined by the American Geosciences Institute, geoscientists explore, study, and monitor the Earth to protect it and the people who live on it. They seek solutions to some of our most challenging problems:
- Finding adequate supplies of natural resources such as geothermal energy, fossil fuels, minerals, and water
- Developing natural resources in ways that safeguard the environment
- Maintaining the quality and sustainability of groundwater and surface water supplies
- Reducing human loss and suffering from natural hazards and disasters, such as floods and landslides
- Determining geologic controls on natural environments and habitats, and predicting the impact of humans
- Understanding global climate patterns and the history of global change through geologic time
- Understanding how naturally occurring elements and minerals behave in nature and how they affect our health
- Advising policy makers on scientific and environmental issues that affect society
