The Earth and environmental sciences undergraduate program explores our planet's natural systems and examines humanity's impact on them. Our curriculum equips students with comprehensive knowledge of Earth's complex systems, fostering innovative thinking about environmental processes and solutions to interdisciplinary challenges. This broad foundation serves students pursuing careers in law, business, government, education, media, and other fields, while also offering specialized preparation for graduate studies in Earth sciences. The flexible program structure allows customization based on individual career aspirations.
Through partnerships with renowned institutions like Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, AMNH, NASA's GISS, Columbia's Earth Institute, and engineering departments, students gain access to cutting-edge research opportunities. Summer positions, research projects, and educational programs are available at Lamont and GISS. We strongly recommend majors engage in research by their third year.
Students should frequently meet with undergraduate program advisors to ensure they fulfill all degree requirements when designing their academic path.

The Committee on Admissions selects women of proven academic strength who exhibit intellectual voracity and strong potential for further scholarly growth. In addition to school records, recommendations, writing, and test scores, we carefully consider candidates' talents, abilities, interests, and personal history. While admission is highly selective, it is also holistic; no one criterion or score determines acceptance. We consider each applicant in terms of her personal qualities, her intellectual capacity, and the rigor of the curriculum she has pursued, as well as her potential for achieving at Barnard. We review each applicant in the context of her school, community, and individual story.
Barnard's general education requirements cover a wide range of subjects: literature, the social sciences, language and the arts, lab sciences, and quantitative areas. For this reason, you should acquire a strong foundation in high school, taking courses from the core academic subjects: math, science, English, history, and foreign language.
