地质学理学学士课程的前两年重点是开设有关定量技能，化学，物理或生物学的艺术和科学课程以及同类课程的基础。在三年级和三年级期间，该课程的重点是矿物学和岩石学，结构地质学，地层学和沉积学，古生物学和野外地质学的核心地质课程。<br> <br>在地质科学中学习的材料可以使学生获得知识和水文，海洋学和沿海地质，环境地质，地貌，气候变化和地球化学方面的技能。通过选修其他科学，商业，经济学，地理信息系统（GIS），计算机应用，通信和人类学的选修课程，鼓励学生获得除地球科学以外的其他技术和非技术知识和技能。
The first two years of the bachelor of science in geology program focus on a foundation of arts and sciences courses and cognate courses in quantitative skills, chemistry, and physics or biology. During the junior and senior years, the program focus is on core geology courses in mineralogy and petrology, structural geology, stratigraphy and sedimentology, paleontology, and field geology.<br><br>Material studied in the geological sciences allows students to acquire knowledge and skills in hydrology, oceanography and coastal geology, environmental geology, geomorphology, climate change, and geochemistry. Students are encouraged to acquire additional technical and non-technical knowledge and skills beyond the geosciences by taking elective courses in other sciences, business, economics, geographic information systems (GIS), computer applications, communications, and anthropology.
