You will learn how Planet Earth works by studying the interactions between the solid Earth, surface sediments, the world’s Oceans and Atmosphere, and the contemporary dynamic processes at the Earth’s surface. The curriculum also focuses on the study of contemporary environmental issues.

The B.S. Environmental Geosciences degree program includes courses from all four of the College's departments – Atmospheric Sciences, Geography, Geology & Geophysics, and Oceanography. It allows you to follow an interdisciplinary theme in your junior and senior years focusing on one of the following:

  • Biosphere
  • Climate Change
  • Coastal and Marine Environments
  • Human Impact on the Environment
  • Water

The program is administered by a committee drawn from the four departments, and classes are taught primarily by world-class College faculty who are renowned educators and researchers.
