Undergraduate Curriculum
The Earth System Science department does not have an undergraduate program. However, many of its faculty teach in the popular, interdisciplinary Earth Systems Program, which offers a BS and co-terminal MS degree. The program is a model for cross-disciplinary education, engaging faculty throughout the university in the teaching of global environmental challenges, integrated Earth Systems processes, sustainable practices, and solutions to environmental problems. Visit the Earth Systems Program page for more information.
