环境科学学士学位课程为学生提供了自然科学和数学的坚实基础，地球科学的广泛背景以及解决与地球系统和资源有关的问题所需的强大分析，定量和交流技能。获得的知识和技能是在各个领域（例如水文学，地球化学，海洋学，环境地球物理学和大气科学）的研究生研究以及在环境和地质咨询，环境法或政府咨询方面的职业的优秀培训。必修课程为基础科学提供了扎实的背景。四门核心课程明确论述了重要的环境问题，并说明了自然过程与人类活动之间的关系。两项技能课程可确保学生发展基本技能，这些技能将有助于他们在就业市场或环境科学领域的研究生院。四个技
Earth and environmental sciences (EES) integrates chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, and computer sciences into the study of Earth and planetary systems, including atmospheric, aquatic, terrestrial, geologic, and climate systems. Global systems studies probe the processes that form and modify planets, from the earliest planetary origins to today, and use that knowledge for future forecasting.<br>The mission of the EES department integrates scientific research and teaching of the highest order to better understand our planet, its climate, and other planetary bodies, and to prepare our students for success in an ever-changing world.<br>The BS in environmental science provides students with a strong foundation in the natural sciences and mathematics, and a broad background in earth sciences. The program also helps students develop strong analytical, quantitative, and communication skills needed to solve problems related to Earth systems and resources.<br>Students in our program acquire knowledge and skills for graduate research in a variety of fields (e.g., hydrology, geochemistry, oceanography, environmental geophysics, and atmospheric science) and careers in environmental and geological consulting, environmental law, or governmental advising.
