The Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences currently offers three undergraduate degree programs: Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees in Geology, Earth Sciences, and Geophysics.
The B.S. in Geophysics applies the principles of physics to the study of the Earth, its structure, processes and earthquakes. It is designed to give a strong foundation in the discipline for students intending a career in geophysics. The techniques used by geophysicists—measuring and modeling variations in gravity, the magnetic field and in the speeds of seismic waves—can be applied on the local scale to explore for water, mineral or petroleum resources underground, or on the large scale to understand global tectonics and the structure of the crust and mantle.
