Learning Goals


The learning goals for the bachelor of science programs offered through the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences are based on the objective of producing geoscience graduates trained to pursue successful, rewarding careers that utilize the degree earned.

The key learning goals are:

  • Exposure to the nature of science and basic scientific principles through the study of the earth and environmental sciences.
  • Mastery of conceptual frameworks for understanding the spatial and temporal aspects of Earth features and processes.
  • Development of scientific literacy and enhanced critical thinking skills necessary to become self-directed learners through exposure to complex, open-ended geoscience and environmental science problems.
  • Acquisition of the skills necessary to investigate geoscience and environmental science problems through observations and data acquisition in field and laboratory settings and to perform hypothesis testing.
  • Awareness of the unique environmental challenges of urban locations, such as the tristate area including New Jersey, and the importance of resource sustainability.
  • Acquisition of quantitative skills relevant to the geosciences and environmental sciences through the collection, analysis, and synthesis of scientific data.
  • Ability to effectively communicate results of geoscience and environmental science investigations in both written and oral formats.
  • Preparation for graduate studies in earth or environmental sciences or entry-level employment in related fields including resource exploration/development and environmental consulting/management.
