Our mission is to provide a rigorous, current, and integrated undergraduate education in Earth Systems Science. Our curriculum centers on three guiding questions:

  • What are the history and processes of our planet?
  • How are humans transforming our planet?
  • How can all of humanity live well within the means of one planet?

Our programs focus on analyzing and understanding the human-planetary relationship, constantly evolving real world sustainability challenges, and searching for innovative solutions that will positively impact the environment and society. Our curriculum can be tailored to your interests and career goals and provides excellent preparation for graduate school and a wide variety of professional careers. Small classes, with fewer than 15 students, result in individualized attention in an engaged learning environment.
