Honors in Environmental Earth Sciences
Environmental Earth Science is the study of interactions between humans and Earth’s natural environment. It encompasses the influence of human activities on the local and global environment, as well as how our actions are shaped and controlled by the geologic and geomorphic processes occurring around us. Environmental Earth Scientists are typically employed by consulting companies, large resource and industrial firms, and government organizations.
Continuation in the Honors in Environmental Earth Sciences program requires successful completion of at least 24 units with a minimum 3.0 GPA in the previous Fall/Winter. In addition, graduation requires a minimum 3.0 GPA on the last 60 units credited to the degree.
A student enrolling in the Honors program should confer with the Environmental Earth Sciences Program student advisor before registration each year.
