Earth science is geology and more, it provides foundational knowledge of how our planet works and applies knowledge of the natural process of global change to understanding our current environmental conditions. The earth sciences major at WSU prepares you with the skills to engage in some of our most challenging problems, such as responsible exploration for and extraction and use of natural resources, understanding consequences of global climate change, and reducing human suffering and property loss from natural hazards. In the integrated curriculum of WSU's School of the Environment, you'll explore and understand the Earth's physical and environmental processes. Along the way, you'll have unbeatable opportunities to experience the latest science and technology. With WSU professors as your mentors, you can even conduct your own research.
