Bachelor of Science in Geophysics
Overview
Geophysics is a broad term that deals with the scientific properties of the Earth, like gravity, magnetism, and seismic waves. The coursework of our Geophsyics B.S. allows students to pursue a degree tailored to their interests, including courses focused on traditional geology, exploration, computation, environment, and more. The capstone of the geophysics program is a 2-3 week summer course where students practice acquiring geophysical data, which is followed by a fall semester course on the analysis of geophysical data.
