The Geophysics and Planetary Sciences concentration is a joint major between the Earth Sciences and Astronomy departments. This multidisciplinary program is built around an array of geology, geophysics, astronomy, physics, and geography courses. Students who embark on this joint concentration develop the skills to understand structures and processes on a planetary scale. This concentration prepares students for research in geophysics, geodynamics, seismology, and planetary science or careers in science education, management, geotechnical consulting, computing, or writing.
