地质科学学士

地质专业为学生提供了对构成地球的材料，地球历史以及在地球整个历史上以及地球内部进行的物理，化学和生物过程的理解。在初中和高年级，强烈建议准备入读研究生的学生选择其学科的其他课程，这可能会导致学生获得超过毕业所需学分总数的信息（有关新课程的规定，请参阅纽科姆-杜兰核心课程）在高年级获得研究生学分）。预计所有专业的学生都将参加某些部门的活动，包括实地考察（每年或每半年一次）以及由来访演讲者提供的特别讲座计划。
The major in geology provides students with an understanding of the materials that make up the Earth, the history of the Earth, and the physical, chemical, and biological processes that have operated on and within the Earth throughout its history. In the junior and senior years, students preparing to enter graduate school are strongly urged to elect additional courses in their discipline, this may result in students attaining more than the total number of credits required for graduation (see Newcomb-Tulane core curriculum for provisions for earning graduate credit in the senior year). All majors are expected to participate in certain departmental activities, including field trips (held annually or semiannually) and special lecture programs given by visiting speakers.
