Overview

Forces within the Earth create mountain ranges and ocean basins and drive the movements of continents. Wind, water and ice shape the surface of the Earth, making and changing the landscapes around us. Sedimentary rocks and the fossils within them teach us how life and climate have evolved over the vastness of time.

Key facts

Geosciences graduates from Williams College have a wide range of career options, both with and without graduate training. The many choices include environmental consulting, hazard assessment hydrology, gemology, the energy and mining industries, outdoor education, and research and teaching in universities, colleges, and secondary schools.

Many students choose to double-major in fields as diverse as Art, Economics, History, Physics, Mathematics, English, and Philosophy, and often find jobs where they can apply the synergies of their Geosciences double major. No matter what field they enter, all our Geosciences graduates pursue their lives and careers with a deeper appreciation for the natural world around them.
