About
The major in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences gives you maximum flexibility to concentrate on interests within the major, such as environmental geology, water quality, economic minerals, materials, petroleum, or natural hazards. You can also seek outside concentrations or choose to pursue a double or triple major.
The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences has fewer scientific requirements than the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree. It is designed primarily for those who expect to use geological sciences in business careers, scientific writing, science librarianship, science teaching below the college level, or as the focus of a more general liberal arts education.
