Department of Earth, Environmental, and Atmospheric Sciences
The Department of Earth, Environmental, and Atmospheric Sciences (formerly Geography and
Geology) (GEO) offers three undergraduate programs, one undergraduate certificate and one graduate
program, which include a B.S in Environmental, Sustainability, and Geographic Studies, a B.S. in Geological Sciences with two concentrations (Geology and Environmental Earth
Science), a B.S. in Meteorology, an undergraduate Certificate in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and an M.S. in Geoscience. These programs are designed to meet the career goals of students in a wide variety
of geoscience areas such as atmospheric science, environment/sustainability, cultural/physical
geography, geology, environmental earth science, and GIS-geospatial science. We aim to develop exceptional undergraduates and graduates in our programs and in colonnade
courses, to engage students in critical thinking and problem-solving education, and
relevant training in the classroom, laboratory, and field settings. We aim to enhance
the reputation of the Department and its constituencies through meaningful research,
community engagement, public service, and workforce development.
