This wide breadth of studies prepares our students for the rapidly changing world of geosciences ? a job market which is expected to grow 10 percent by 2024, faster than most other markets.
An undergraduate degree in geology or geography prepares students for work in several fields. The Department?s senior thesis requirement for the Bachelor of Science degrees prepares students to conduct research, a skill sought by graduate schools and employers. About 50 percent of geology and geography graduates pursue advanced study.
