ESS Major


group project

The ESS curriculum includes four areas. First, there is the ESS Core which consists of five core courses (16 credit hours), including academic credit for a required internship. Second, it requires Foundation courses (37-39 credit hours) in math, physics, chemistry, geographic information systems, remote sensing, and biogeochemistry. Third, courses are required by the Concentration (up to 50 hours). And fourth, some of the requirements of the University Studies Program are met with a combination of new and existing ESS Core, Foundation, and Concentration courses.
