专业概况

在这里学什么？

Earth and space sciences seeks to further the understanding of the Earth, the solar system, and their histories. The scope extends from the center of Earth to the rim of the solar system, and activities cut across traditional disciplines of physics, chemistry, biology, geology, and mathematics. The discipline examines Earth's interior structure, chemistry, motion, and dynamics; geologic hazards; processes affecting the surface environment and climate; the surrounding space environment; planetary processes; and geobiology.

The Bachelor of Science degree is designed for students interested in geology and geophysics, and a career path in graduate studies or in the private sector where field and technology experiences and problem-solving skills are an important asset. The biology option enables B.S. students interested in paleontology and paleobiology to emphasize biology courses. The physics option allows for an emphasis in physics and geophysics. The environmental earth sciences option is designed for students interested in environmentally focused courses and careers. The Bachelor of Arts degree is designed for students who wish to obtain a broad understanding of earth sciences as a background for careers such as science journalism, environmental law, K-12 teaching, or environmental policy.

Learning Objectives and Expected Outcomes: Students who graduate with an undergraduate degree in Earth and Space Sciences (ESS) have achieved these learning goals:

Have a general knowledge of the basic areas of solid earth geology and geophysics, geobiology, surface processes, space physics, and analogues of processes within the solar system.

Be proficient in one of the core disciplines through the completion of requirements in one of four options: standard (geology), (geo)biology, (geo)physics, or environmental.

Think critically and obtain quantitative predictions using skill sets that involve multiple disciplines and all core sciences.

Have obtained hands-on experience from extensive fieldwork and/or laboratory experience.

Have the ability to communicate scientific information clearly and precisely, both orally and in writing.

Have the ability to read, understand, and use scientific literature.
