Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Geology] From California State University

CSUB's geology program focuses heavily on the earth's crust...particularly sedimentary rocks and basins that are host to large accumulations of oil and groundwater. But our students study geology around the globe...from our local San Joaquin Basin and Sierra Nevada mountains to Iceland, Turkey and South Africa!

CSU Bakersfield offers Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and Master of Science (M.S.) degrees in Geology. A minor in Geology is also available.

We also offer a Bachelor of Arts degree in Natural Science. Completion of the following course work satisfies the requirements for a Secondary Teaching Credential in Science and leads to a Natural Science B.A. with a primary concentration (major) in Geology and a secondary concentration (minor) in Physics, Biology, or Chemistry.

The Department of Geological Sciences provides an educational and professional research-based resource for the campus and community relevant to critical petroleum, mining, agricultural and environmental issues uniquely addressable by the study of the Earth. We provide an outstanding education for our majors in preparation for the diverse and ample career opportunities available to them and we provide the local community with a substantive expertise to help solve problems critical to the future development of the southern San Joaquin Valley and environs.
