Overview
Many students are already familiar with Geosciences through what is commonly called "earth science" in high school. Geosciences covers our Planet Earth - its soil, minerals, climate change, magnetic fields, earthquakes, water, plants, fossils, volcanoes and more.
The Geosciences program at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee includes more science requirements than the BA and is designed for students who plan professional employment or advanced study in the geosciences. Graduates seek employment with environmental and water resource management; energy and mineral industries; and government agencies.
Geosciences touches on all aspects of the other natural sciences including chemistry, biology, mathematics and physics, so the ideal student for Geosciences loves all types of science and is curious about how they interrelate. Many Geosciences students also love the outdoors and traveling off of the beaten path.
Required outdoor field work prepares students for jobs with environmental and water resource management; energy and mineral industries; and government agencies.
UWM students often participate in research abroad in places as diverse as Iceland, Turkey, South America, Spain, and New Zealand. Others gain hands-on experience in the dirt of Montana, the hills of South Dakota or the volcanoes of Hawaii.

Jobs related to geosciences are predicted to grow twice as fast compared to other jobs through 2026 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics).
