The Bachelor of Science (BS) in Environmental Earth and Ocean Sciences (EEOS) is a 4-year course of study focusing on the physical science basis of humans’ interaction with the earth system. The EEOS major provides education and research training in environmental earth sciences with specific focus on the geological and ocean realms. The program offers three tracks: Environmental Geology, Environmental Ocean Sciences, and Environmental Earth Sciences. Every BS EEOS student takes common blocks of courses focusing on fundamental environmental Earth sciences, investigative methods, and field techniques. The program offers a high degree of flexibility to allow students to choose courses and curricula that best fit their science interests and career goals. Students may choose courses to prepare them to enter the geoscience workforce immediately upon graduation or select courses designed to prepare them for graduate work.
