Geology, B.S.Geology is the study of the Earth, its materials, its structure, and the processes that are acting upon them including the evolution of the organisms that inhabit our planet. Geologists are responsible for discovering natural resources, identifying natural hazards, and supplying information critical for solving problems and establishing policy on resources management, protection of the environment, public health, safety, and welfare. Learning OutcomesUpon completion of the baccalaureate degree, students in geology are expected to:
