BC Earth and Environmental Sciences

As a student in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences (EES), you will explore Earth's dynamic processes, test waters and analyze soils, find fossils and minerals, examine rock outcrops to understand Earth's history, and learn how the environment effects humans and how, in turn, human activities have impacted our environment. You will also work toward solutions for offsetting these environmental impacts and develop marketable GIS skills in GIS analysis. These are just a few of the topical areas in the EES curriculum, designed to prepare you for a career in government or the private sector, or for an advanced degree from a graduate school. We offer B.A., B.S., M.A., and M.S. degrees in earth and environmental sciences. We partner with the School of Education to offer an Earth Science Teacher B.A., and a Master of Arts Teaching (M.A.T.). With Brooklyn College's Urban Sustainability program, we offer a concentration in environmental science.
