地球与空间科学是一个基础广泛的多学科领域，结合了由地质科学系管理的地质，天文学，大气科学和海洋科学（有关部门信息，请参见地质学专业）。地球与空间科学专业是自然科学和数学的多元化课程，旨在培养对地球和空间科学的基本了解，还包括对自然科学或数学或环境地球科学的跨学科研究中的任何一项的集中研究。该课程针对那些寻求与科学相关的职业的人而设计，它的灵活性在于它可以满足那些希望拥有更加多样化的文理科学背景的学生的需求。各种课程使学生能够选择教学，法律，环境科学，中学教育或私营企业和政府研究领域的职业。
Earth and Space Sciences is a broadly based multidisciplinary field combining geology, astronomy, atmospheric science, and marine science administered by the Department of Geosciences (see Geology major for departmental information). The major in Earth and Space Sciences is a diversified program in the natural sciences and mathematics aimed at fostering a basic understanding of the earth and space sciences, it also includes concentrated study in any one of the natural sciences or mathematics or interdisciplinary studies in environmental geoscience. Intended for those seeking a science-related career, the program is flexible in that it is designed to meet the needs of students who desire a more diverse liberal arts and sciences background. The various programs prepare students to choose careers in teaching, law, environmental science, secondary education, or research in private industry and government.
