Geology and Environmental Studies – Planetary Geoscience Concentration

Advisor: Molly McCanta

A concentration in Planetary Geoscience consists of 37 credit hours. This concentration is for undergraduate students who want to pursue a career in applying geoscience skills to extraterrestrial bodies. Students will gain a strong geoscience background with the flexibility to supplement with additional courses tailored to their specific interest in the planetary field (i.e., remote sensing, astrobiology, etc.). Students in this concentration will develop analytical, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills they can put to work in careers in scientific research, planetary mission development and support, teaching, and related fields.
