Bachelor of Science in Geology- Paleobiology

Bowling Green State University

A B.S. in geology with specialization in paleobiology from Bowling Green State University offers the opportunity to decode Earth’s biological history in order to rewrite a more sustainable future. Paleobiology is a scientific discipline combining aspects of paleontology and biology to study ancient life forms through fossil records. While paleontology broadly focuses on prehistoric life, paleobiology takes a more specialized approach by applying biological principles to understand how extinct organisms lived, functioned and evolved with Earth’s complex systems. A degree in paleobiology is for those eager to study some of life’s greatest mysteries – such as why mass extinctions happened, how life rebounded and what those patterns can teach us – so we can better navigate current problems like biodiversity loss, climate change and dwindling natural resources.
