University of Southern Maine - Gorham, Maine
Department of Geosciences
Degrees
BA, BS
The Geoscience curriculum is designed to give the student a solid scientific understanding of our environment using the latest tools and applications in preparation for careers in geology and geotechnical consulting, resource exploration and extraction, environmental issues involving water resources, geologic hazards, research, and government regulatory agencies.
Our degree program offers students the flexibility to tailor their sequence of courses to their interests, whether they be in earth materials, large-scale crustal processes, or surficial processes relevant to environmental issues. We offer a strong field and laboratory based sequence of courses. We conduct field trips to explore, map, and measure geologic processes throughout Maine and New England.
