Geosciences Bachelor's Degree Program

The Geosciences Bachelor's Degree Program at the University of Montana offers students the opportunity to study earth science in the unique natural laboratory of Western Montana. This program provides a strong combination of field, computational, and communication skills, preparing students for success in the job market.

Program Focus

The program has two areas of special focus: water and earth. In both areas, students analyze the dynamic cycles of energy and earth materials, such as water, minerals, sediments, and rocks, and their impact on the global distribution of water, energy resources, soils, natural hazards, and nutrients.

Hands-on Learning

Hands-on, field-based learning is a key component of the program. Students participate in research that serves the people of Montana while addressing issues of global importance, including water, climate, geologic resources, and natural hazards.

Concentrations and Joint Programs

Students can concentrate their degree in earth science education or participate in one of the joint international field geosciences programs with University College Cork in Ireland or Potsdam University in Germany.

Career Development

The program prepares students for a range of career opportunities, with 14% growth in geoscience jobs and a median salary of $93K. Additionally, 71% of University of Montana geosciences alumni work in a field related to their major.
