The Earth and Environmental Sciences (EaES) major supports students in their exploration and study of the natural world. Students may be interested in learning more about climate change, sources of urban pollution, or planetary formation. The undergraduate degree program is the first step on the pathway to employment and/or post-graduate work in geoscience and environmental science. Additionally, the EaES major, or minor, is also a valuable degree for those pursuing other career choices – for example, in medicine, public health, law, education, business, civil engineering, or social sciences.
