Sand Beach Acadia National Park

The School of Earth and Climate Sciences offers a B.A. degree in Earth Sciences and a B.S. degree in Earth Sciences with an Earth Sciences or Climate Sciences concentration.  We also offer an Earth and Environmental Sciences Concentration through the B.S. in the Ecology and Environmental Sciences program. Our program also provides a wide range of courses accessible to the non-major interested in the Earth and our environment,and we offer a minor in Earth and Climate Science. Our curriculum is designed to prepare majors for careers in Earth Science-related fields, as well as to provide all students with the knowledge they need to address future environmental challenges. B.A. or B.S. Earth Sciences graduates from our program are prepared to enter directly into education, industry, or federal and state agencies. A B.S. is typically required to enter graduate school in Earth Sciences.
