Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Geophysics – first 2 years of study

Geophysics studies the underlying forces responsible for geologic processes and develops the technology for probing the subsurface and interior of the earth. Professional geophysicists work to understand:

• the nature of volcanic eruptions
• the behavior and potential prediction of earthquakes
• the mechanisms behind continental drift
• how to better predict the behavior of the atmosphere
• how to develop technologies to search for new mineral and energy resources

Cooperative transfer program

Missouri Southern State University's Physical Science Department participates in a cooperative transfer program with the Missouri University of Science & Technology. The program allows you to:

• Complete the first 2 years of study toward a Bachelor of Science degree in either geology or geophysics at MSSU
• Transfer to Missouri S&T for the last 2 years

The cooperative transfer program is adaptable so that you may also complete the degree at the University of Missouri at Columbia or at Missouri State University in Springfield.
