地质科学学士

地质学是对地球及其运作方式的科学研究。您将了解我们的星球及其生命形式是如何随着时间而改变的。训练有素的地质学家可以帮助国家和世界规划未来的环保和经济路线。您将在户外花费大量时间作为地质专业的学生，​​因为南加州独特的地质特征中的广泛野外调查将构成您学习的很大一部分。您的课程将使您熟悉地质学标准子学科中的最新发展和技术。这些包括矿物学，岩石学，古生物学，结构地质学，地层学和沉积学。该计划强调通过课程工作以及广泛的野外工作进行学习。该系与化学，物理，生物学，数学和地理学的其他相关学科紧密合作。通过他们的研究和
Geoscience is the scientific study of the Earth and how it works. You'll learn how our planet and its life forms have changed through time. Well-trained geoscientists can help the nation and the world chart an environmentally and economically sound course into the future. You'll spend time outdoors as a geosciences major, applying what you've learned in the classroom to some of Southern California's unique geological features. You'll also learn important laboratory techniques in our newly renovated classrooms and labs. Your courses will familiarize you with current developments and techniques within various geosciences subdisciplines. Areas of study include paleontology, climate change, geologic hazards, water resources, field methods, stratigraphy, sedimentology and more.
