- Overview
Provides a strong foundation in biological sciences, physical sciences, and mathematics to equip students with the interdisciplinary scientific skills necessary for addressing key issues in environmental science and understanding earth system interactions. Elective courses allow students to build their own concentration in Environmental Science, Earth Systems, Geology, or Physical Geography.

To plan degree completion, see the course descriptions in the academic catalog which specify the planned semester(s) in which required classes are to be scheduled.
This is just one way you might complete the Science of Earth & Environment program in 4 semesters over 2 years of full-time study, or 8 semesters over 4 years of part-time study. (Sample course sequences assume that all pre-requisites have been satisfied and the student is prepared for college-level work.) For a detailed list of required courses, optional electives and program information, download the Science of Earth & Environment program description from our official academic catalog.
