Geosciences (BA/BS) | Bachelor’s Degree

University of Vermont

Description

The Geosciences program offers perspectives of timescales across all Earth layers to investigate pressing environmental challenges. Geoscience students focus on understanding the interconnectedness of atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and geosphere, investigate the past, understand and measure the present, and make predictions about the future behavior of our planet and other planetary bodies. The College of Arts & Sciences offers Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Sciences (BS) degrees in Geosciences as well as a minor.

Students enjoy flexibility and interdisciplinarity with offerings within our department and other disciplines. This includes courses on weather, climate, vegetation dynamics, materials and hazards of Earth and other planetary bodies, sustainability, natural waters, contamination, lab and field methods, and much more.

Geography and Geosciences are available as a B.A., which puts more focus on broader interests as you will explore a minor as well. Geosciences also is available as a B.S. degree, which emphasizes the context of STEM disciplines.
