Geology B.A. with Earth and Environment Option

The Earth Sciences Department offers B.S. and B.A. degree options in Earth & Environment. The Earth & Environment program is a streamlined cross-disciplinary program that trains students to work in the broad fields of earth and environmental science. The program concentrates on the understanding of Earth's physical systems and the relationship of those systems to natural landscapes and human populations. The overall mission of the program is to prepare leaders, thinkers and planners to address and solve environmental challenges using interdisciplinary approaches. The program covers the four major earth systems (lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere), human systems (economic, political and cultural), and the interactions among them. At the heart of the major is a core of required and elective upper division courses in the following areas: Environmental Policy, The Natural Environment, and Applied Methods. The program's integrative curriculum provides the opportunity to study basic relationships between planet Earth, its many environments, and its people.
