Geosciences: A Major Opportunity

Do you love being in the outdoors? Do you like getting paid to do research? Do you love to travel?

You can do all of these things and more by majoring or taking classes in the Geosciences. If you’re simply interested, or thinking about majoring, come find out what the GEOS department is all about on Tuesday (Oct. 23rd) at 7:00pm in Clark Hall 105. Free pizza and refreshments will be served.

Some perks of being a Geosciences major:

• Take advantage of one of the best major student/faculty ratios (around 1:1) at Williams, with professors who are all published and respected experts in their field
• Receive first priority on GEOS courses and research with travel components (think Hawaii, Colorado, the Galapagos Islands, Baja California, the West Coast of Ireland and many more)
• Participate in great summer and Winter Study research, both in-lab and involving field work
• Study-away opportunities with premier universities, field camps, and educational programs around the world, including the Williams-Mystic Maritime Studies Program
• Engage in fully-funded senior honors thesis study at exciting locations around the U.S. and around the world
• Take advantage of fully-funded(!) post-grad study, paid for by corporations and institutions interested in your research
• A fulfilling and lucrative field of work after college, in areas where you can make a difference. Starting salaries are the same as those in finance and computing, and higher than those in architecture, poli. sci, and business management, according to payscale.com. (One of the few majors with near 0% unemployment, according to http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/10-college-majors-lowest-unemployment-rates-163049193.html)
