地质学学士

地质学是对固体地球，地球过程以及地球如何随时间变化的科学研究。地质学家进行研究以开发新原理，以帮助我们了解地球。这些原则通常可用于土地利用规划，矿产，能源或水资源的发现以及环境研究。大多数大型能源公司，矿物勘探公司，工程和环境公司，州和国家地质调查局的地质学家都可以使用这些原则，大学。地质学学位课程为学生提供了科学的一般背景和地质学主要学科的综合背景。强调实地调查。地质学士学位课程旨在为学生提供高质量的地质知识和动手实践的地质培训，为在地球科学领域的职业或地质学研究生做准备。
Geology is the scientific study of the solid earth, earth processes, and how earth has changed through time. Geologists do research to develop new principles to help our understanding of the earth. These principles can often be applied to land use planning, the discovery of mineral, energy or water resources and to environmental studies.Positions are available to geologists in most large energy companies, mineral exploration companies, engineering and environmental firms, state and national geological surveys, colleges and universities. The degree program in geology provides students with a general background in science, and a comprehensive background in the principal disciplines of geology. Fieldwork is emphasized.The Geology, BA program aims to provide students with both high-quality conceptual knowledge and hands-on training in geology in preparation for careers within the earth-science field or for graduate studies in geology.
