The College of Saint Rose is a place where rigorous intellectual
discourse is valued and where a sense of community with students
and faculty is considered critical to the learning process.
Our challenging science majors and the practical experience they
afford ensure that our graduates are accepted into the most prestigious
graduate schools or are selected for immediate placement in career-track
jobs.
Earth science is an all-embracing term for the sciences related
to Earth. The discipline utilizes physics, geology, mathematics,
chemistry, and biology to build a quantitative understanding of
earth science.
The curriculum focuses on real-world issues affecting the global
environment and provides our students with a front row seat from
which to view the eclectic record of geologic history.
The Earth Science major prepares students to be able to teach earth
science at the secondary education level (7-12).
CAREERS
This program leads to New York State Initial Certificate/or teaching
earth science in grades 7-12.
PROGRAM
This program is for full-time day students. The upper-division earth
science courses could be more properly considered "geology"
courses.
