Major and Minor Requirements
Curricular Programs
Bucknell's strong record of preparing people for graduate school and for careers in the traditional geological professions has recently been complemented by our evolution toward environmental geosciences. For that reason we now offer four different majors, a B.A. and a B.S. in Geology, and a B.A. and a B.S. in Environmental Geology. A B.S. degree is usually appropriate for a person who clearly plans a career in professional geoscience, especially if that career involves some further study in graduate school. For students who are less certain about their goals, or who wish to double major (a major in geology and a second major in another department), the B.A. degree might be more appropriate. The following lists outline the four majors, but the University Catalogue should be consulted for notes about additions, exceptions and alternatives. |
