What is a Bachelor of Science in earth sciences?
The Bachelor of Science degree in Earth Sciences has four tracks, each designed for a student who is interested in Earth's climate, geology, geophysics or oceanography. These are well suited for students who desire a strong concentration in geoscience built upon a broad foundation in mathematics and the physical sciences, immersion in intermediate coursework to develop and apply field, data science and laboratory skills, and a focus on upper-level coursework specialized in climate, geology, geophysics or oceanography. The Bachelor of Science degree prepares students for work in the environmental and geosciences industries, energy sector and climate technologies, teaching at the secondary level, state and federal agencies, graduate studies in the Earth sciences, oceanography, and related fields of study, and other careers in the Earth sciences and beyond.
Why study Earth sciences at UNH?
The location of UNH, on the Great Bay Estuary and close to both the White Mountains and Gulf of Maine, provides an ideal backdrop for hands-on learning opportunities for all Earth Sciences students. Students have multiple opportunities to immerse themselves in research experiences in the field and in state-of-the-art laboratories and computer centers and funds are available by competitive application to support these activities. Employment for geoscientists is projected to grow substantially, reflecting increasing needs for energy, environmental protection and responsible land/water/resource management. Graduates may also use their geosciences degree to complement policy, business or legal careers.
