What will you learn?
All of our undergraduate programs provide knowledge of the basics of Geoscience, Chemistry, Physics, Calculus, and Statistics in addition to learning GIS and basic computer programming. Our options require additional courses specific to that topic.
In our ESED Option, students will gain a broader understanding of the Earth and our interaction with it. Additionally, they will learn outreach and K-12 teaching techniques.
