Major programs are offered by the Department of Earth Science in two baccalaureate areas: the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Science. The Bachelor of Science program is recommended for most students who wish to prepare for careers as professional geologists and who plan to enter graduate school in geology. The Bachelor of Arts Degree--Geology Major provides a wider choice of electives than the Bachelor of Science Degree--Geology Major. With the appropriate choice of electives, the B.A. geology program can meet the needs of students preparing for additional study in selected fields of geology, paleontology, and related earth science areas. The B.A. Earth Science Major--Teaching is designed to prepare secondary earth science teachers. A B.A. earth science program is also available as a liberal arts major.
