Online Geoscience Degree Program Overview

Gain the analytical, technical and communication skills you need to take on complex environmental issues with a Bachelor of Science in Geoscience degree online from Southern New Hampshire University. Our program gives you a strong foundation in the physical sciences with a focus on geography, geology, earth systems science, physics, chemistry and spatial awareness.

"The significance of the geoscience field lies in the possibilities of what geoscientists can do to help protect our planet and predict what the future might hold," said Dr. Kelly Thrippleton-Hunter, technical program facilitator for science at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU).

In the geoscience degree online, you’ll learn how to analyze data and use the latest technology to study all aspects of the earth and present your findings. The skills and experience you obtain from our bachelor’s in geosciences program can equip you to step into the professional world – whether you want to make your mark in the field or in the lab.

Learn how to:

• Develop maps and products using geospatial data
• Use tools, technologies and scientific principles to visualize and solve problems
• Recognize occurrences and patterns through qualitative and quantitative data
• Make ethically responsible geoscientific decisions

Career Outlook

From identifying petroleum extraction sites to predicting earthquakes, geoscientists perform valued – and often critical – functions. The demand for educated geoscience professionals will intensify over the next few decades due to our rapidly growing population and the need for energy, environmental protection, and land and resource management.

Among the roles in greatest demand are:

• Geologist. Study the history of Earth, including materials, processes and formation.
• Environmental specialist. Help improve lives through the protection and improvement of the environment.
• Permit specialist. Prepare, review and issue permits in regards to pollution and contamination control.
• Environmental inspector. Perform routine inspections of job sites to ensure all projects are in compliance with environmental laws.
• Compliance manager. Analyze complex compliance issues as they relate to environmental laws and industry standards.
• Geotechnician. Identify safe and ideal locations for construction through imaging and testing techniques.

Courses & Curriculum

The BS in Geosciences gives you a solid foundation in the physical sciences with a focus on geography, geology, earth systems science, physics and chemistry.

The program emphasizes geoscience data for their uses in problem solving and establishing policies that support public health and safety, effective resource management and environmental protection. You'll study topics such as:

• Chemistry. Gain foundational knowledge in the composition, structure and properties of matter in the context of everyday life.
• Physics. Examine topics like energy, motion, force, gravity, thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism, and atomic and nuclear physics.
• Geohazards. Explore the origin and evolution of disasters caused by natural phenomena such as tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunami and volcanic eruptions.
• Geology. Learn about Earth's composition and structure by studying minerals and rocks, surface processes, introductory petrology and plate tectonics.
• Atmospheric science. Understand weather and climate by applying fundamental principles in physics, chemistry and fluid dynamics.
• Research methods. Become a better geoscience researcher by proposing research topics, conducting preliminary research and developing a research proposal.
