地球科学复合教学专业为学生提供了在中学教授地球科学的准备。课程工作将地质，生物学，化学，工程，数学和物理学融为一体，用于研究我们的自然环境。当学生学习这些领域时，他们将了解检查地球的科学，行星的组成，历史和结构，并准备在学校教授地球科学。地球科学复合专业的要求符合美国国家科学教师协会的标准。通过完成该专业的所有必修课程，学生可获得学士学位。要获得学士学位，学生还必须精通一种或多种外语。
The earth science composite teaching major prepares students to teach earth science in secondary schools. Coursework integrates geology, biology, chemistry, engineering, mathematics, and physics in the study of our natural surroundings. As students study these areas, they will understand the science that examines the planet Earth, its composition, history, and structure and prepare to teach earth science in schools.Requirements for the earth science composite major meet the standards of the National Science Teachers Association.Students receive a BS by completing all required courses in the major. To receive a BA, students must also gain proficiency in one or more foreign languages.
