Earth Science

Welcome to the Department of Earth Science at Southern Connecticut State University. Our program has a more than 50-year tradition of producing first-rate geoscientists with expertise in geology, meteorology, oceanography, astronomy, and environmental earth science. Today, our alumni can be found working at all levels of private sector industry, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and academia. Our programs are student-centered and grounded in the hands-on field and laboratory-based learning. Our faculty and staff are highly engaged in teaching and research with undergraduate students. We are housed in Southern’s New Academic Science and Laboratory Building, which provides a magnificent environment that is conducive to both effective teaching and cutting-edge research. Many elements of the new building, including specialized laboratories, an indoor rock wall, and an outdoor rock garden have been purpose-built for earth science instruction. If you are interested in a meaningful career that has a positive impact on the planet and the people around you, I hope that you will consider becoming part of the SCSU Earth Science tradition.
