Welcome
Welcome to the largest, most diverse, and strongest undergraduate Earth and Soil Sciences program in the nation. The earth sciences and soil science majors provide students with a strong foundation for understanding and improving the utilization of land, water, and atmospheric resources. Moreover, the curriculum for each major is very flexible and through the selection of one of several concentrations, students can work alongside their faculty advisor to custom tailor their coursework to match their interests and career goals.
Hands On Learning
Due to the diverse nature of our programs, the B.S. degrees in earth sciences and soil science ensure that students graduate with a strong scientific foundation, the ability to assess, interpret, and understand landscapes/earth processes, as well as the practical and marketable skills gained from many “hands-on, learn by doing” laboratory and field oriented courses. Our graduates consistently find desirable employment in a myriad of careers related to their studies, while those who opt to attend graduate school perform well due to their excellent undergraduate preparation.
