Majors and Minors
Environmental Sciences
Environmental science is available as a major on the BS degree and a minor on the BA or BS degrees. Sustainability is offered as a minor.
Bachelor of Science in Environmental Sciences
Accelerated BS in Environmental Science and MS in Sustainability
Geology
Students planning to pursue technical jobs or qualify for graduate work in geology are strongly advised to satisfy the requirements for the BS degree. Some geology courses required for the BS degree require off-road field trips, particularly GEOL 40516, which requires a high degree of physical fitness and mobility.
The BA degree with a major in geology is devised primarily for the student seeking a curriculum combining geology with another field of study.
Bachelor of Science in Geology
Earth Systems Science
The major in Earth System Science is available on the BS degree. The curriculum uses a hands-on, systems thinking approach in preparing students, while focusing on the integration of the natural sciences, data science and modern geospatial technologies to understand and develop science-based solutions to addressing current and future challenges of a rapidly changing Earth including areas such as climate, energy, natural hazards, natural resources, pollution control and remediation.
