Climate Science - Students will develop a deep understanding of the climate system, as well as skills that can be applied to climate mitigation and adaptation solutions.
Environmental Sciences - Students learn broadly about the interdisciplinary nature of environmental sciences from a variety of perspectives, while deeply exploring one area of specialization.
Geography and Geospatial Science – Geography is the study of Earth's environments, landscapes, peoples, and places. It includes natural science (physical geography), social science (human geography), and geospatial science (GIScience).
Geology - Students study the process of rock formation, climate evolution and change, mountain building, land surface evolution, and mineral resource creation over the Earth's 4.6 billion-year history.
Ocean Science (Oceanography) - Students study all aspects of the marine environment (biological, physical, chemical, and geological) and how it interacts with and influences planet Earth including humankind.
**GIScience Certificate - Hundreds of thousands of organizations in virtually every field are using GIS to make maps that communicate, perform analysis, share information, and solve complex problems around the world. (https://www.esri.com/en-us/what-is-gis/overview)
