Earth Science is an all-embracing term for the multiple sciences related to the planet Earth. The B.A. degree in Geology with a major in Earth Science is designed to integrate all the Earth sciences in a systems approach to understanding the Earth. This includes incorporating and integrating subjects such as oceanography, meteorology and astronomy. The emphasis is on the preparation of individuals to work in a wide range of professional public sector service careers where preparation in Earth science and communication of science to non-scientific audiences is a requirement or an asset. This includes the preparation of Earth science teachers.

Geology, BA -ohjelman tavoitteena on tarjota opiskelijoille sekä korkealaatuista käsitteellistä tietoa että käytännön koulutusta geologiassa valmistautuessaan uraan maatieteen alalla tai geologian jatko-opintoja varten.
