Program Highlights
Geoscience students who choose to focus on physical geography will learn to observe the natural environment — including the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and geosphere. Students who choose courses in geology will gain knowledge about the structure of the what lies beneath the Earth’s surface, and the processes that have and will shape that structure. Students will apply geoscience principles through the lens of current topics and issues such as climate change, environmental planning and sustainability.
