Description
The Bachelor of Arts in Geological Sciences is a liberal arts degree emphasizing the natural sciences and, with appropriate planning, as a preparatory degree for graduate study and professional employment. The BA degree requires courses in both geology and the other natural sciences while allowing students flexibility to use four courses to specialize in an area of interest. Students should plan to meet early with their advisors to outline a plan of specialization no later than their sixth semester.
