地质科学学士

该课程为毕业生提供了在行业或政府中的专业就业机会，或为地质科学，相关领域，商业或法律领域的高级研究做准备。该计划的基本核心价值和理念是BYU特派团和AIMS所倡导的核心价值和理念。支持计划目标的最重要的课外活动包括大学灵修课程和论坛，地质俱乐部等服务机会，参加专业会议的旅行，有指导的经验和实习。其中最重要的也许是受过指导的经验，这些经验专注于与教职员工和研究生进行的研究。对我们学生的出口访谈还显示，实地考察和实地经验有助于他们理解课堂环境中学到的原理，并树立对科学的热情，并将其传递给其他人。<br> <b
The study of the structure, evolution and dynamics of the Earth and its natural mineral and energy resources.<br><br>Geology is the science that puts all the other sciences in the context of the Earth. You learn how to apply physics, math and chemistry to understanding landscapes, materials and processes that we deal with every day. Geologists therefore are the ones who know where to drill for oil and gas, how to manage and protect our water resources, where hazards will occur, and how to plan for where to build. Those practical skills enable people to have jobs in state geological surveys, environmental firms, construction consulting and oil and mining companies. We also prepare students in data and image analysis, so there are opportunities in data and image science in and out of geology for employment.<br><br>This program meets the educational requirements designed to lead to an occupationally required professional license or certificate in the state of Utah. Students pursuing occupations requiring a license or certificate in a state other than Utah should contact the appropriate BYU academic advisement center as well as the licensing agency in the state where they intend to work to seek information and guidance regarding licensure and certification requirements.
