地球科学学士学位

户外是您在地球科学方面的实验室。地球科学关注的是对地球过程和地球演化历史的理解。通过地球科学学士或学士学位，您可以为解决环境问题做好准备，发现和开发地下水，金属和能源等资源，解决由技术引起的环境问题，例如酸性矿山的排水和废物处置，预测地质事件，例如地震和火山爆发，并解决有关地球和生命起源和演化的问题。<br>获得文学学士学位课程强调数据收集，调查，分析和综合与复杂自然问题有关的信息，严谨思想和口头和书面表达的清晰度。学士学位课程提供地球科学基础教育，专为希望为在科学，社会科学和商业之间衔接的职业做准备的学
The geosciences are concerned with understanding Earth processes and the evolutionary history of the Earth. Geoscientists work to discover and develop natural resources such as groundwater, metals, and energy sources, to solve technology-generated environmental problems such as acid mine drainage and waste disposal, to predict geological events, such as the occurrence of earthquakes and volcanism, and to solve fundamental questions concerning the origin and evolution of Earth and life. The Bachelor of Arts degree program stresses data collection, investigation, analysis, and synthesis of information related to complex natural problems, rigor of thought, and clarity of oral and written expression. The B.A. provides a basic education in geosciences, and is designed for students who wish to prepare themselves for careers that interface among science, social science, and business. Examples of these careers include environmental law, national and international planning or resource management, and K-12 teaching.
