UConn Geosciences Undergraduate Program

*Please note - this information is subject to change in the summer of 2008, with the proposal of a new geosciences major hopefully being implemented for fall 2008 here at UConn!!!

Integrative Geosciences is UConn's newest program of study for undergrads that ties together many branches of science to create a fully integrated study of the Earth and life through time. In order to understand the complexity of the Earth and the many systems it contains, it is necessary to cross numerous discipline boarders. The new Center for Integrative Geosciences at UConn seeks to train a new generation of geoscientists who not only have a solid background in geology, but who also integrate that background with a variety of other fields related to Earth and life.

 

Through the individualized major program, undergraduates can choose to study one of three structured 'tracks' in the geosciences: Geobiology , Earth Surface Processes , and Physics of the Earth . (Click on each one for details about that particular track).
Each track has different course requirements emphasizing topics of relevance for that particular track, as well as a common group of core courses that all geoscience undergrads must take.
Or, if none of the tracks are exactly what you are looking for, students can create their own (not structured) Individualized Major in an area of geosciences that interestes them. Environmental Geosciences is also a major available through the Environmental Sciences program at UConn. Find out more through the links above or below!
