Geology students study Earth’s processes through travel and research, gaining skills in problem-solving, data analysis, and resource management that are in high demand across industries. Graduates pursue careers in energy, consulting, environmental management, and government, or continue to graduate school and research.

Environmental Science majors take an interdisciplinary approach to studying ecosystems, sustainability, and human impact on the environment. Coursework spans hydrology, ecology, public policy, and sustainability, preparing you to solve today’s most urgent environmental challenges.

Physics students explore the laws of nature through personalized instruction and research opportunities. With options in traditional, teaching, applied, and computational physics, as well as biophysics, graduates are ready for careers or advanced study in engineering, medicine, and research.

Across all three programs, you’ll gain the analytical, critical thinking, and technical skills that employers and graduate programs seek while learning in small classes that put you at the center of discovery.
