Students earning a BS degree in ESS are required to declare a concentration in one of the participating programs (this list will expand as the program grows), which include:

• Anthropology
• Biology
• Botany^(*)
• Geography
• Geology & Geophysics
• Soil Science
• Secondary Education (ESSE; Earth System Science Education with concurrent major in ESS)

ESS was designed to be rigorous enough to prepare individual students for graduate studies in their chosen Concentration. Students are asked to contact both the ESS office and program faculty in their respective Concentration for advising. A library of various printed ESS resources is maintained in the program office. Seminars addressing various aspects of the Earth system are organized and announced here and by the program office.

(*) The Botany concentration is being eliminated due to changes in the Botany curriculum.
