The BA degree provides a general overview of the geosciences and is suitable for students with an interest in the topic who do not intend to pursue a career in research or graduate study in geoscience (for these career paths, a BS degree is recommended). The BA in Geology prepares students for careers in science education (when combined with an education degree) or for careers in science journalism, law, or public policy, particularly when combined with a complementary major or minor.
US universities use a holistic admissions review. Beyond grades and standardized test scores, they weigh the strength of your overall profile to understand who you are as a student and a person.
Profile Assessment: Science applicants are generally assessed on the rigour of their Mathematics and laboratory-science coursework. Relevant preparation may include Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Calculus or Statistics, depending on the intended field. Research, science fairs, Olympiads, laboratory exposure, independent investigation and environmental or community-science projects can demonstrate scientific curiosity and analytical thinking.Advanced Placement(AP) Guidance: AP availability depends on the student's school. Relevant APs can strengthen an application and may earn university credit, but are not compulsory unless the university or programme explicitly requires them.Essays & recommendations: Personal essays and teacher/counselor recommendations give context to your achievements and help demonstrate fit with the program.CartographersRemote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) specialistsLocation and market area analystsurban- regional - economic and transportation plannersEnvironmental scientistsInternational development specialistsUrban design professionalsIndustrial and real estate developersSoil scientistsMarketing and distribution managersJournalistsTravel and recreation specialists
