Undergraduate Major Programs
The EEGS Department offers undergraduate majors in Earth Science, Environmental Science, Environmental Studies and Sustainability, and Geographic Information Science & Technology.
Undergraduate Certificate Program
The EEGS Department offers a Certificate program in Geographic Information Systems to help undergraduate students develop technical skills and specialized training to meet current or future job requirements calling for GIS knowledge.
Undergraduate Minor Programs
The EEGS Department offers undergraduate minor programs in Earth Science, Environmental Studies, Geographic Information Science & Technology, Sustainability, and the EEGS Cluster.
Sustainability, M.S.
Sustainability science examines the dynamic relationships between humans and the environment with a focus on the vulnerability and resilience of coupled human-environment systems. The Master of Science in Sustainability program is designed for recent graduates, current professionals, and practitioners who wish to contribute meaningfully to work in sustainability.
Students in the program choose to complete a practicum or a thesis. They will receive training in methodologies relevant to the social and natural sciences, develop their proficiency in the use of geospatial analysis tools, and hone skills relevant to policy implementation and organizational leadership in one of five tracks of study and either focus on a practicum or thesis.
Earth Science, B.S.
Make the Earth your career! Where will the next earthquake strike? What is the probability of flooding where you live or work? Are you interested in the physical processes that affect our lives and living on Earth? If so, then consider pursuing a major in Earth Science. Our career-focused approach within the program allows students to pursue their interests while using professionally relevant skills.
Environmental Science, B.S.
Do you want to understand how systems in the environment function and interact? Do you enjoy hands-on learning about the environment? If so, then pursue Environmental Science to experience and practice environmental stewardship. Our program’s career-focused concentrations allow students to explore their interests while developing professionally relevant skills.
Environmental Studies and Sustainability, B.S.
Are you interested in connections among ecological, economic, and social systems? Do you want to work collaboratively to address sustainability challenges? If so, then choose the Environmental Studies and Sustainability (ENSS) major. Our students understand the complexity of environmental challenges and can apply tools to solve them.
Geographic Information Science & Technology, B.S.
Do you wish to develop technical skills in a growing professional field? Would you like to acquire specialized training to meet current or future job requirements calling for GIS knowledge? If so, then our GIST program is for you. Our students develop the skills and experience to succeed in one of the top emerging professions of the 21st Century.
Geographic Information Systems Certificate
Are you looking to differentiate yourself when applying for a crowded position? Are you interested in becoming an expert in your field by using geospatial software and skills to analyze and visualize geographic relationships in order to solve problems and make decisions? Then, consider our GIS Certificate program where you will gain the practical skills and theoretical knowledge necessary to enter the rapidly expanding field of geographic information science.
Undergraduate students pursuing the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Certificate program develop technical skills and specialized training to meet current or future job requirements calling for GIS knowledge. Students will use geographical data and industry-standard computer technology to assemble, manipulate, analyze, and visualize geographic data for use in problem-solving and decision making.
Undergraduate minors
The Department of Earth, Environmental and Geographical Sciences offers five minor programs that integrate well with both our undergraduate major programs and major programs in other departments.
