The Department of Earth and Environmental Studies provides a range of undergraduate and graduate programs, including BS, MS, and certificate options in fields like Earth Science, GIS, Water Resources, and Environmental Forensics. Additionally, we host an interdisciplinary PhD Program in Environmental Science and Management. These curricula train emerging scientists to tackle pressing challenges such as climate change impacts, environmental contamination, pollution remediation, coastal dynamics, sustainable land and water use, and Earth system processes spanning from its core to the atmosphere.
The accelerated 4+1 Bachelor's/MBA is a five-year dual-degree path. Students spend their first three years fulfilling bachelor's requirements, then in their fourth year complete undergraduate coursework alongside 6 graduate-level MBA credits. These "swing courses" apply toward both degrees. The fifth year focuses exclusively on full-time MBA studies, covering core requirements and electives. By program completion, students earn 120 undergraduate credits (including 6 MBA credits) plus 30 additional graduate credits, totaling 150 credits for both degrees.
