地球科学理学学士

地球科学理学学士是为有意准备直接进入行业或政府领域的专业或在地质，海洋学和气象学等任何地球科学研究生课程的学生而设计的。在基础科学和数学基金会的课程支持下，本科学位的地球科学核心课程可以使学生对地球系统（地球，水圈，大气和生物圈）的结构和行为有深刻的了解，并且它们相互作用的物理过程。地球科学核心课程不仅教授跨学科的科学概念，还教授解决定量问题，田野调查，写作和口头交流的技能，这些技能直接适用于研究生院和职业。地球与气候科学系提供两个本科学位课程和一个涉及地球科学（包括地质学，水文学，海洋学，气象学和气候科
The Bachelor of Science in Earth Sciences is designed for students intending to prepare for direct entry into a career as a professional in industry or government, or for graduate school in any of the Earth sciences, such as geology, oceanography, and meteorology. Courses in the BS degree's Earth Sciences Core, supported by courses in the Basic Science and Math Foundation, give students a strong understanding of the structure and behavior of Earth's systems (geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere) and the physical process through which they interact. The Earth Sciences Core courses teach not only interdisciplinary science concepts but also skills in quantitative problem solving, fieldwork, and writing and oral communication, which are directly applicable to both graduate school and a career. The Department of Earth & Climate Sciences offers two undergraduate degree programs and a minor program spanning the Earth sciences, including geology, hydrology, oceanography, meteorology, and climate science, and a graduate program leading to a Master of Science in Geosciences. All programs aim to help students understand how planet Earth functions and to help them develop skills that enable them to critically evaluate and solve scientific problems related to Earth and environmental issues.
