Earth and Environmental Sciences (EES) offers three degree options. Students may choose a major in Earth and Environmental Sciences leading to either a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) or a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree, or they may choose a major in Sustainability Science leading to a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree. Students may not double major in these disciplines.
