Earth Science Minor

The earth science minor complements any major and provides students with knowledge and skills pertaining to the geosciences, geochemistry, ecology, and their application to societal challenges. Students learn how to work with spatial data, explore how earth’s surface has been shaped over time, and investigate geological processes that lead to natural hazards for people, among other topics in earth science. Flexibility in choosing elective courses in the minor allow students the opportunity to pursue both broad and specific interests in the field.
