地球科学

虽然十大最大的网络彩票平台的 学位课程 is still very young we are growing by leaps and bounds. At last count we were 100 majors strong and growing.

We strive to provide an all-around education with an emphasis on the application of geoscience in the field. Our courses provide practical knowledge in the classics such as structural geology, mineralogy petrology, and sedimentology and stratigraphy, as well as the less traditional areas of hydrology, 地球化学, 地球物理学 and volcanology. We also prefer that our majors gain real world experience and as such we provide ample opportunities for undergraduate research.

项目概述

Geologists and hydrologists study the composition, structure and other physical aspects of the Earth as well as the Earth’s geologic past and present by using sophisticated instruments to analyze the composition of rocks and fluids. Many geoscientists search for natural resources, such as groundwater, petroleum, minerals and metals. Others work closely with environmental scientists to preserve and clean up the environment.

课程

The ASU 地球科学 program includes a Bachelor of Science in 地球科学 and a minor in Earth Science. Because the primary entry-level degree in the 地球科学 is a master’s degree, our primary educational objective is to prepare students for graduate study in geology, 地球物理学, 工程, environmental science and hydrology. This program emphasizes teaching fundamental field geology-based skills and analytical problem-solving techniques.

Full-time faculty expertise and research interests are in traditional core areas of geology, 包括:

• Structural geology
• 水文地质
• 岩石学
• 地球化学

Part-time geology faculty bring additional expertise in hydrology, planetary geology, geographic information science, astronomy and science education.

The 地球科学 bachelor’s degree plan is interdisciplinary: students minor in a complementary field, 比如物理, range and wildlife management, 计算机科学, ecology and evolutionary biology, chemistry or mathematics. Students also take coursework in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Prior to graduation, students will be prepared to take the national Fundamentals of 地质 Exam as part of Professional Geologist certification.

Most students will complete an undergraduate research project. The San Angelo office of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) supervises several research projects and helps to teach several courses. The curriculum is coordinated with the Texas Tech University Department of 地球科学, a nationally respected master’s degree and Ph.D. granting department.

就业

就业 growth of 18 percent is expected for geoscientists and hydrologists between 2008 and 2018, which is larger than the average for all occupations, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. The average entry-level salary of 2008 M.S. graduates in oil industry positions was $86,600, a 35-percent increase in three years, according to the American Association of Petroleum Geologists.
