Meteorology (BS)
/undergraduate/sciences/marine-earth-atmospheric-sciences/meteorology-bs/
The degree of Bachelor of Science in Meteorology is offered in the Department of Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. Meteorology majors gain training in core areas of atmospheric science. Our curriculum closely follows the guidelines set by the American Meteorological Society. The program emphasizes a strong background in physical sciences and mathematics followed by specialized courses in meteorology that cover a wide range of topics from weather prediction to air-quality and climate.聽 A concentration in Marine Sciences may also be chosen.
Geology (BS)
/undergraduate/sciences/marine-earth-atmospheric-sciences/geology-bs/
The degree of Bachelor of Science in Geology is offered in the Department of Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. Geological science 鈥� or Earth science 鈥� is a broad and interdisciplinary field that encompasses other disciplines such as biology, chemistry, math, and physics. Knowledge of Earth processes provides a critical framework for the assessment of resources, geologic hazards, and environmental stewardship. Many geologists work in the petroleum or natural gas exploration industry or in the mineral industry. Many other geoscientists find work related to natural hazards (e.g., earthquakes, volcanoes, and landslides), as geologists on some of the world鈥檚 largest engineering projects (dams, tunnels, bridges, tall buildings), in the geothermal and alternative energy sectors, in the remediation of hazardous waste and groundwater pollution control, and in the field of environmental rehabilitation (e.g., stream restoration). Geoscientists work across industries 鈥� from Fortune 100 companies to small environmental consulting and law firms, state agencies and nonprofit organizations. Many others are employed in the education sector including at universities, community colleges and high schools.
