School of Science and
Engineering
Atlantic International University
The Bachelor of Geology (BS) program provide
students with a strong background for advanced
study or career development in areas such
as business, city management, regional development,
planning, law, journalism, and science writing.
Other career opportunities are found in
petroleum and mining companies; railroads;
chemical, cement, and utility firms; real
estate developers; and banking and investment
firms The Bachelor of Geology (BS) program
is offered online via distance learning.
After evaluating both academic record and
life experience, AIU staff working in conjunction
with Faculty and Academic Advisors will
assist students in setting up a custom-made
program, designed on an individual basis.
This flexibility to meet student needs is
seldom found in other distance learning
programs. Our online program does not require
all students to take the same subjects/courses,
use the same books, or learning materials.
Instead, the online Bachelor of Geology
(BS) curriculum is designed individually
by the student and academic advisor. It
specifically addresses strengths and weaknesses
with respect to market opportunities in
the student’s major and intended field
of work. Understanding that industry and
geographic factors should influence the
content of the curriculum instead of a standardized
one-fits-all design is the hallmark of AIU’s
unique approach to adult education. This
philosophy addresses the dynamic and constantly
changing environment of working professionals
by helping adult students in reaching their
professional and personal goals within the
scope of the degree program.
Important: Below is an example of the topics
or areas you may develop and work on during
your studies. By no means is it a complete
or required list as AIU programs do not
follow a standardized curriculum. It is
meant solely as a reference point and example.

for changes in climate. These scientists
have extensive knowledge about the earth's
materials, their structure and how they
are formed. Geologists also understand the
earth's processes and how they affect the
environment.
