Earth & Space Science Education - BS
Students graduating with a B.S. in Earth and Space Science Education will have completed a degree that involves two academic components: 1) formal training in the Earth and space sciences and 2) formal training in education.
The underlying core values and philosophies of this program are those espoused in the BYU Mission and AIMS. The Earth science content is designed to give broad training in traditional geological science courses with an emphasis on geological processes, Earth history, and human interaction with Earth. Students take multiple classes in geology, physics, chemistry, and astronomy. This training allows students to become competent science teachers and gives them a framework within which to pursue graduate studies if they so choose. The science curriculum is comprehensive enough to place students in teaching positions in both junior high and high school.
