GRADUATE PROGRAMS PAGE 6 / COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES / EARTH & ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Earth & Environmental Sciences Program Description Through the study of Earth and Environmental Sciences (EES), you will unravel the complex tapestry of our world’s processes, decoding patterns and unveiling hidden truths through sophisticated techniques. To study natural systems is to understand past environments, our current environment, and the future of the Earth system. As global environmental changes accelerate, it is critical—now more than ever—to possess a broad and comprehensive understanding of the Earth sciences. We offer both M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs in EES. Under a broad Earthsystems umbrella, students research the subdisciplines of ecology, environmental science, biogeochemistry, oceanography, geology, geochemistry, and geophysics. M.S. candidates typically complete the program in 2 years by performing thesis research and 30 credit hours of coursework. Set Out to Safeguard the Future
