The Earth and Environmental Sciences program supports an interdisciplinary approach for students interested in sustainability and environmental systems. Possible areas of study include climate change, natural resource management, energy systems, and the relationships between human activity and the environment.
Students learn to evaluate complex environmental challenges through data-driven analysis, including pollution mitigation, risk assessment, and resource planning. Coursework also builds strengths in problem- solving, interpretation, and scientific communication across technical and policy contexts.
Learning extends beyond the classroom through research opportunities, applied projects, and collaboration with faculty and peers. A dual degree option in data science is available for students seeking additional analytical expertise. Graduates pursue roles in environmental consulting, research, and sustainability-focused fields, or continue into graduate study.
