University Majors

California Polytechnic University, Pomona
Geology B.S.

The Geological Sciences Department offers undergraduate programs
which place emphasis on an empirical, applications-oriented approach
to learning and career training. The program balances classroom theory
and laboratory application with field experiences. Such an applied
approach to learning and career training, guided by faculty who consider
as paramount the welfare of the student, leads to a strong academic
program. The application of this teaching philosophy has been
successful in producing graduates with broad capabilities, ready to
confront new challenges as professional geologists or in post-graduate
educational settings.
Students entering the Geological Sciences Department are offered two
programs leading to a Bachelor's of Science Degree: Geology or
Integrated Earth Studies (IES). The Geology Major is a comprehensive
curriculum in the geological sciences with support courses in
mathematical, physical and biological sciences. The Integrated Earth
Studies Major, through its interdisciplinary character, addresses two
important contemporary needs: the need for environmental scientists
and for teachers of science.
