The B.S. in Geophysics applies the principles of physics to the study of the Earth, its structure, processes and earthquakes. It is designed to give a strong foundation in the discipline for students intending a career in geophysics. The techniques used by geophysicists—measuring and modeling variations in gravity, the magnetic field and in the speeds of seismic waves—can be applied on the local scale to explore for water, mineral or petroleum resources underground, or on the large scale to understand global tectonics and the structure of the crust and mantle.
The curriculum combines classes in the fundamentals of geophysics, with electives in topics such as tectonics and seismology, augmented by additional classes in classical physics, math and statistics.

The assessment of a qualifying GPA is based on “a–g” courses (required high school/secondary classes) completed in years 10 and 11. If the high school/secondary school offers a different curriculum, your academic achievement will be based on that educational system’s grading scale.
