Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Earth Sciences] From University of Maine

Our courses focus on the fundamental physical and chemical processes that shape the surface and interior of our planet - today, in the past, and into the future. Specific content areas include climate change, geodynamics (e.g., plate tectonics and mountain-building), marine geology and coastal processes, environmental geology, and Earth materials (e.g., ice, rocks, and minerals). The curriculum is designed so that many upper division courses are available to students without extensive prerequisites. We also encourage students to become involved in faculty and graduate student research projects.
