Earth and Atmospheric Sciences
Students interested in a broader degree with courses in both earth and atmospheric sciences may consider the Earth and Atmospheric Science B.A. degree or the minor. Both of these options offer maximum flexibility in the selection of courses that can complement, and thereby strengthen, a broad range of disciplines from anthropology/archaeology to business and economics, and from environmental issues or water and energy resources and sustainability to eco-tourism.
Interested students are advised to consult with the Earth and Atmospheric Sciences advisor or the Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences early in their undergraduate career to discuss course planning for the degree.
