Department: School of Earth and Environmental Sciences
The School of Earth and Environmental Sciences provides students with an understanding of how their lives are affected by Earth processes and how their lives are affected by Earth processes and how their actions affect the environment in which we live. We provide educational and research opportunities that meet the needs of the general campus community, undergraduate majors and minors as well as graduate students at the masters and doctoral levels:
That the general campus community understands how the Earth System enriches and constrains our lives so that its members may become educated community members who can vote knowledgeably on policies environmental/geologic issues.
That undergraduate environmental science, geology and environmental studies majors and minors are prepared by a rigorous curriculum to enter professions or graduate school where they will become the next generation of professionals studying the Earth and to teach the next generations of scientifically literate citizens.
We aim to address the increasing demand for a well-educated workforce in the growing environmental and green energy sectors by providing a welcoming and inclusive environment that fosters creativity, excellence and innovation.
