The geology department has replaced traditional lectures with project-oriented lectures/labs so that students learn geology in authentic problem oriented settings. All classes include a field component - the local region is rich in geologic diversity, and faculty have taken students on trips as well to Wyoming, the Canadian Rockies, Hawaii, the Galapagos, and Iceland. The program leads to an independent senior research experience for which majors...
The A.B. degree Earth and Ocean Sciences is designed as a flexible major for those students interested in the Earth, its atmosphere and the oceans. The major is intended to provide a general knowledge of the processes that shape and control the environment in which we live.
Students who receive the A.B. degree Earth and Ocean Sciences may follow many different career paths, including:
Research at government agencies or in the nonprofit world
The B.S. degree Earth and Ocean Sciences provides a background for subsequent graduate work for students who wish to pursue an academic or professional career in the earth and ocean sciences. The Director of Undergraduate Studies works closely with students to tailor their coursework to the specific graduate program they are interested in. We have been very successful at placing students in earth and ocean science graduate programs across the country....
Geology majors have the opportunity to specialize in one of three concentration areas: coastal and marine, environmental, general geology. Minimum degree requirement is 126 s.h. of credit
Geology is the study of the Earth as a whole, its processes, materials, history, and effect on life in general. Rocks, crystals, mountains, earthquakes, volcanoes, rivers, glaciers, landslides, floods, tsunamis, and many other subjects fall into its extensive field of research.
As a geology graduate from ETSU, you will learn to perform a wide range of important services for our civilization: you will learn to determine the stability of building...
The Environmental Earth Science (EES) major provides a broad based education in the earth sciences while remaining firmly grounded in geology. The curriculum stresses (1) the materials, processes, and features of the earth; (2) the ever-changing face of the earth over time; and (3) the ways in which earth scientists investigate the earth to address environmental concerns. The student gains this knowledge about our planet from a sequence of required...
A program that prepares individuals to teach students in the elementary grades, which may include kindergarten through grade eight, depending on the school system or state regulations. Includes preparation to teach all elementary education subject matter.
General Eduction requirements It is the responsibility of the student, with the help of their advisor, to fulfill the general education requirements put forth by the University.
Major and Minor Requirements The Department of Geology/Geography offers students majors, with a B.S. degree, and minors in both Geology and Geography. There are also majors with honors in both subject areas. Geography also offers students a minor in Geography with Teacher...
The Department of Geography and Geology formed in the summer of 2007 as a result of the merger of the Departments of Earth Science and Geography. Our new department now consists of a faculty with diverse interests that includes Volcanology, Weather and Climate, GIS and Remote Sensing, Paleoclimate, Travel and Tourism, Conservation and the Environment, Hydrogeology, Soil Science, Land Use and Planning, Geochemistry, and Geoscience and Geographic Eductation....
Geology is the study of the Earth and its history. This includes rocks and minerals, dinosaurs and other fossils, physical processes like tectonics and weathering that have altered the land, and resources such as petroleum, metals and water that are so vital to modern society. Geology also includes the study of natural hazards like volcanoes and earthquakes and environmental problems, such as groundwater pollution.
Geology is the science of planet Earth. Geologists use elements of chemistry, physics, biology and mathematics in interpreting the evolution of the earth and its life forms. Applied geology addresses exploitation of earth resources, environmental quality and hazards and practical understanding of the planet on which we live.
Geology is a field-oriented science, and our curriculum emphasizes field studies. However, geologists increasingly employ advanced...
The earth is a dynamic planet which provides us with the energy and raw materials necessary for modern life. The earth is also a fragile planet whose delicate environmental balance may be easily upset. Geologists study the earth, its composition, history, and dynamic systems, in an effort to ensure the rapidly growing human population with adequate supplies of natural resources to maintain the delicate balance of its environment.

The earth science program includes the study of geology, the atmospheric sciences, pedology (Soils), hydrology, the environment, ans the space science. The Bachelor of Arts major allows the student some specialization in geology while gaining breadth in other disciplines. It also provides preparation for graduate study in one of the disciplines of the earth sciences....
Geosciences offers baccalaureate degree geology. Study and training in the geosciences are designed to provide: (1) students with an understanding of the methods of science and the fundamentals of geoscience as they relate to the physical and cultural environments of humans and their dependence upon earth resources; (2) science students with the fundamentals of geology as a foundation for other science studies; (3) an understanding of the relationships...
Harvard offers outstanding opportunities for students to pursue studies in the Earth and Planetary Sciences, a field of study that encompasses a broad range of science and technology. Understanding a complex natural system such as the Earth or another planet demands training in basic sciences and mathematics, a knowledge of the system itself, and the development of new tools and technologies, such as space probes and sophisticated new instruments,...
