Overview

Students enrolled in the Earth and Environmental Science at University of Utah will gain an understanding of processes that connect spheres, and how these processes can be traced and quantified. Knowledge of all spheres and shared processes will be gained, but students must choose one of three emphases: Climate Science, Ecosystem Science, or Geoscience. The degree will focus on providing students with experiential learning opportunities, for example through research lab experiences offered through the Science Research Initiative. The degree will also focus on providing students with opportunities to study Earth system processes firsthand, for example through field and lab-based research in the neighboring Wasatch Mountains and Utah’s national parks. Students with this degree will gain the education and experience required to make an impact on the challenges facing our planet.

Career Opportunities

Holders of the Earth and Environmental Science degree can go on to work for private companies, public companies, or the government. For example, companies developing and applying technologies to counteract increasing Earth surface temperatures, or government entities with missions focused on forestry and wildlife, air quality, or geosciences. With additional education, careers in research, education, and administration are also possible.
