Learn the foundational concepts of geology with the Geology BA or Geology BS from the College of Science and Technology. Geologists use a combination of field and laboratory research to understand the physical, chemical and biological processes that have shaped our planet over time and how these processes affect us. You’ll cover topics like
Elevate your degree with a combination of upper-level classes that meet your interests and future goals, and prepare for postgraduate study or a career in development, policy and research.
Choosing between the BA and BS
The Bachelor of Arts (BA) is geared toward liberal arts students who want to concentrate in geology. Students gain exposure to the study of groundwater, minerals and physical geology. It is also well-suited for premedicine and prelaw students as well as those planning to teach earth science in secondary school. The BA degree requires slightly fewer credit hours than the BS degree, so you will have sufficient flexibility for electives outside the major.
The Bachelor of Science in Geology (BS) involves foundational and advanced science courses and is the best choice if you are considering graduate studies in the geosciences. The BS curriculum includes courses such as igneous and metamorphic geology, the use of computers and remote sensing in geology, paleontology and the interpretation of earth history through the study of sedimentary deposits. It also provides excellent preparation for a career in government, industry, research or teaching.
Bachelor of Science in Geology Overview
The Department of Earth and Environmental Science provides students the opportunity to study the Earth with a variety of traditional and environmental geology course work. The faculty work closely with students to give a combination of field-based experience and current laboratory and computational techniques.
Students in the Bachelor of Science in Geology acquire a solid foundation in the Earth and Environmental Sciences.
Delve into the physical, chemical and biological processes of Earth, from the remote past to the distant future. Learn how humans are impacted by and are impacting our planet. Explore climate change, energy resources and natural planetary forces.
Career opportunities for geologists span industry and government including environmental planning, mitigation of natural hazards, resource assessment, monitoring and management of water resources. The BS prepares students for graduate study and careers in research, teaching, industry or government and thoroughly prepares students for professional licensure examinations.
The BS program includes 5-6 credits of Field Geology coursework, which may be fulfilled through a combination of several specialized Temple courses, or through an external intensive 4–6 week field course taken in the summer following the junior or senior year.
- energy resources;
- environmental protection;
- geologic hazards such as volcanic eruptions, storms and floods; and
- global climate change.
