An affordable, online geoscience degree that prepares you to be a licensed earth science teacher.

Earth science (also called geoscience) explores society's use of resources, resiliency to natural hazards, and the health of the environment. Geoscience teachers need to have the up-to-date knowledge, skills, and credentials to help young minds develop a passion for understanding the physical aspects of the Earth, including its composition, structure, and processes.

WGU's online, NCATE-accredited earth science teaching degree program focuses on competencies including astronomy, geology, meteorology, and oceanography. Our curriculum is designed to prepare you for a meaningful career teaching geosciences in middle schools and high schools across America.
