The Earth Science major provides a quantitative education in Earth’s systems, including the solid earth, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere. Students will gain a foundational understanding of the major features of each of these systems and the interrelations between them through lecture, laboratory and field studies. The program provides a very broad-based science education, preparing students for a wide variety of careers in the private and government sectors including the fields of environmental science, mining and petroleum industries, and resource management. It also provides an excellent foundation for students interested in continuing their education with graduate work in the sciences.

Students may also complete courses required for secondary teaching certification.
