Environmental Earth & Ocean Science, B.S. - Environmental Earth Sciences Option
The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Earth and Ocean Sciences (BS EEOS) is a 4-year course of study focusing on the physical mechanisms, interactions, and human activities that characterize and impact the Earth system. BS EEOS students will gain an understanding of the environmental issues with an emphasis on climate change. In addition to a common core curriculum students choose one of three concentrations including Environmental Earth Sciences, a program which encourages students with broad interests to create a more interdisciplinary curriculum.
