Bachelor of Science in Environmental Earth Science

Oswego's geology programs prepare students for a wide range of careers or graduate study in geology, engineering, and other fields. Roughly a quarter to a third of our graduates go on to graduate school. Many of our recent graduates are employed in environmental applications of geology at consulting firms, corporations, and environmental laboratories. Our graduates also work in the petroleum industry, museums, teaching, materials testing and other fields.

Students pursuing a BS in Geology benefit from exposure to a range of upper level elective courses as well as a required research or internship component. Students in both the BS and BA Geology degree programs must take at least one year each of math (including calculus), chemistry, and physics.

Our location on the shore of Lake Ontario and near classic geological regions including the Adirondack and Catskill Mountains, Niagara Falls, the Thousand Islands, and the Finger Lakes allows us to incorporate many field and research activities in our program. Students are strongly encouraged to work with faculty on an independent research project. We have excellent facilities for conducting a wide range of research activities. We consider our small class sizes and ability to work with students one-on-one our most valuable assets.
