Learning Outcomes

Geoscience B.A. graduates will:

understand the structure, composition, and physical processes of the Earth; understand the coevolution of the Earth-Life System; have experience interpreting the geologic record in the field; understand natural resources and resource sustainability; and develop a quantitative analytical skill set to integrate the diverse array of Earth sciences and related disciplines.

Overview

The B.A. in geoscience offers students a background in the Earth sciences and related scientific disciplines, and is designed for flexibility in potential career paths. The department focuses training in the areas of environmental geology, geochemistry, geophysics, paleontology, stratigraphy, tectonics, basin analysis, surficial processes, petrology, and volcanology. Students gain field experience along with classroom learning.

The Bachelor of Arts with a major in geoscience requires a minimum of 120 s.h., including at least 55 s.h. of work for the major (at least 39 s.h. in earth and environmental sciences courses and at least 16 s.h. in supporting disciplines). Students must maintain a g.p.a. of at least 2.00 in all courses for the major and in all UI courses for the major.

The B.A. in geoscience is designed to prepare students for employment after graduation or for admission to graduate study in an allied field of earth and environmental sciences, such as public policy, environmental engineering, law, business, archaeology, or science education. Nearly all University of Iowa geoscience graduates gain employment or move on to graduate programs following completion of their degree.

Graduates are typically employed in environmental corporations or consulting agencies; nongovernmental organizations; law firms; and local, state, and federal agencies, in career fields that include education, conservation, urban planning, natural resources, and water resource management.
