Understand the complex workings of our planet, the processes that shape it, and the environmental challenges we face.
Overview
The Minor in Earth and Environmental Science (EES) provides students with a fundamental understanding of earth systems, geophysical processes, and environmental engineering principles. The curriculum is highly flexible, allowing students to choose from a variety of geology, environmental chemistry, and interdisciplinary elective courses offered by participating departments.
