Geology, B.A.

Bachelor of Arts Major

The B.A. degree is designed for students planning professional careers in the geosciences and for those preparing to incorporate geosciences into broader careers such as teaching, resource management, environmental planning, business or law. The B.A. degree may be an appropriate prerequisite for some graduate programs, but a B.S. is generally recommended for those in the geological sciences. Election of this major will allow students to choose supporting courses from disciplines such as computer science, mathematics and physics or other physical or biological sciences, or from disciplines as diverse as anthropology, environmental studies or geography.
