Environmental Geoscience (BA)
|
|
The environmental geoscience (BA) focuses on providing students with a scientific understanding of the Earth and surrounding environment. The student in geology gains an understanding of the various terrestrial processes and features (mountains, oceans, volcanoes, glaciers); the immenseness of geologic time, the history of the earth and organisms that inhabit it (fossils); the role of water, fuel, and mineral resources in the development of civilization; and the close interaction between the geologic and organic environments.
Students who desire to combine interests in geology and other fields such as education, business, recreation, environmental sciences, or language may prefer the environmental geoscience (BA) because its relatively small number of courses allows students to take a second major or minor in another field.
