Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Geology] From University of Texas

The undergraduate degree programs offered by the Department of Geological Sciences—a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Geology, and a Minor in Geology—reflect the Department’s policy of offering the opportunity for a comprehensive education of the highest quality, individualized to the needs and interests of the student. Completion of a basic science curriculum allows students to apply for entry into one of several highly specialized areas in geology. Students who have majored in one of these degree programs are eligible to apply for positions in education, industry, or government as well as for entry into professional or graduate schools.

Students seeking the B.S. degree in Geology must fulfill University Core Curriculum requirements in the same manner as other students. If courses are taken to satisfy both degree requirements and Core Curriculum requirements, then students may need to take additional courses in order to meet the minimum number of semester credit hours required for this degree.
