Earth And Environmental Sciences (major) in University of Michigan - Ann Arbor

The Earth and Environmental Sciences major trains students to receive a broad foundation in the natural sciences, to understand how the Earth system works, and to tackle grand challenges facing our planet and society such as climate, energy, mineral resources, natural hazards, water, pollution, and sustainability.  From our field camp in Wyoming to research on campus and across the world, Michigan students have opportunities to explore the Earth and environmental sciences in engaging ways.  The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences offers:

• an Earth and Environmental Sciences Major
• optional sub-plans within the major: (1) Earth Sciences, (2) Environmental Sciences
• an Honors Plan
• a Teacher's Certificate Program, for prospective science teachers who are candidates for a secondary teaching certificate in earth science and general science; and,
• Academic minors in Earth Sciences, Environmental Geology, Geology, Oceanography, and Paleontology

Students are required to learn material from several core areas representing physical, chemical, and biological aspects of the geosciences. The program also includes a field requirement that takes students off campus to study and apply their knowledge. Within the Earth and Environmental Sciences major students may elect a sub-plan in (1) Earth Sciences or (2) Environmental Sciences.  These sub-plans are optional and are designed for students who intend to pursue graduate studies and/or a career in the Earth and environmental sciences.  Finally, students are encouraged, but not required, to complete a specialization in a subject area of their choosing. Students in this program of study can earn either a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree. A Bachelor of Science degree requires students complete at least 60 credits in science and math courses.
