Students can also pursue Minors in Geology, Geophysics, or Global Climate Change. These Earth Science programs encompass scientific investigations of our planet, examining its composition, structure, geological processes, and evolutionary history. The curriculum explores life forms on Earth, societal impacts of natural disasters, and climate change across different time scales. Our B.S. degrees focus on equipping students for advanced academic pursuits and diverse professional opportunities.
