Ohio State University’s BS in Earth Sciences offers a rigorous, data-driven approach to understanding the planet’s structure, processes, and evolution. Students study geology, hydrology, paleontology, geophysics, and climate science while gaining fieldwork experience and using advanced geospatial technologies. The program prepares students to address pressing global challenges such as climate change, resource management, and natural hazards. With access to OSU’s research labs and field stations, students develop the skills needed for careers in energy, environmental consulting, academia, and government.
