地球科学学士学位

地球科学文学士课程为基础物理科学，数学和地球科学奠定了坚实的概念基础。学生以了解和帮助解决重要的跨学科问题（例如减缓和适应气候变化以及管理人类对自然环境的相互矛盾的需求）所需的方式，整合这些不同学科的知识。它还准备让学生就需要了解地球工作原理的问题向他人提供建议和教育。除了基础知识外，学生还具有很大的灵活性来适应该计划，以满足对地球科学的许多可能兴趣并为各种职业做准备。地球与气候科学系提供两个本科学位课程和一个涉及地球科学（包括地质学，水文学，海洋学，气象学和气候科学）的辅修课程，以及一个研究生课程，可提
The Bachelor of Arts in Earth Sciences program builds a solid conceptual foundation of basic physical sciences, mathematics, and Earth sciences. Students integrate knowledge of these separate disciplines in ways needed to understand and help solve important interdisciplinary problems, such as slowing and adapting to climate change and managing conflicting demands that humans make on the natural environment. It also prepares students to advise and educate others about issues requiring knowledge of how the Earth works. Beyond the basic foundation, students have great flexibility to adapt the program to satisfy many possible interests in the Earth Sciences and prepare for a variety of careers. The Department of Earth & Climate Sciences offers two undergraduate degree programs and a minor program spanning the Earth sciences, including geology, hydrology, oceanography, meteorology, and climate science, and a graduate program leading to a Master of Science in Geosciences. All programs aim to help students understand how planet Earth functions and to help them develop skills that enable them to critically evaluate and solve scientific problems related to Earth and environmental issues.
