We study the Earth and environment, how the solid earth, oceans, atmosphere, and life interact to shape the world in which we live.
The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences offers undergraduates a foundation in environmental science, geology, and ecology through a modern earth-systems-science approach. The interdisciplinary curriculum equips students to understand complex environmental challenges and their broader societal impacts. With B.A., B.S., and minor options, the program supports diverse career paths in science, law, business, and government.
Our graduate program combines nationally recognized research with close faculty mentorship. Students explore a wide range of topics, from ecology to geophysics, in a collaborative and research-intensive environment. Through seminars, symposia, and hands-on training, graduates are well-prepared for leadership roles in academia, industry, and other professional fields.
