攻读文学学士学位的环境研究专业至少包括53个学分，其中包括必修的地球科学（ESCI），地质学（GEOL），地理学（GEOG）和系外课程以及16小时的选修课程。学生有责任满足所有跨系课程工作的课程先决条件。
The Department of Geography and Earth Sciences is a cross-disciplinary unit offering different but related programs of study. Earth and Environmental Sciences include the study of the hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, and surficial materials, and the influence of humans on those systems. Environmental Studies is concerned with the intersection of human activities and the environment with particular focus on policy and planning. Geography emphasizes the locational aspects of human activities as they are distributed over the Earth. Geology examines the composition, history, and structure of the whole Earth. Meteorology provides a rigorous study of the fundamental atmospheric processes that lead to weather and climate. A unique advantage of the department's interdisciplinary curriculum is that all five programs of study are inter-related in many ways. For example, a geography student interested in land use planning might gain important experience and knowledge from coursework in soil science or hydrology. An Earth and Environmental Sciences major might better understand soil formation and chemical weathering with courses in petrology and optical mineralogy. Emphasis in one area should not preclude class work or interest in another. In fact, this type of interdisciplinary work is often critical to the student's program of study.
