Overview

Here at Albion College we designed our Earth Science major for students who begin the major in the second semester of their sophomore year or later or take it in addition to another major. You’ll follow a similar curriculum to our geology major, exploring your interest in our Earth in combination with other fields of study.

What Will You Learn as an Earth Science Major or Minor?

You'll study the geological processes that create landscapes and ocean basins, and learn how the world’s oceans, atmosphere, and climate interact with one another.

You'll learn to analyze fossils and rock samples in our labs to understand evolving environments and life forms on Earth through time.

You’ll use your broad liberal arts foundation to contextualize your knowledge of the natural world, undertake and present field and/or lab research in an area of your choosing, and develop the skills necessary to succeed in your future career.
