Earth Sciences
In order to change the world, we must first understand it. The Earth Sciences Department at The College at Brockport provides students with a multi-dimensional education so that they understand our planet’s systems from multiple perspectives. Whether conducting a Ichthyasaur dig in Wyoming, studying the impact of shrinking wetlands systems, or forecasting severe storms in our weather center—the learning experience is driven by a spirit of scientific inquiry and creative discovery. Through our close student-professor collaborations, emphasis on field work and research, and high academic standards, students prepare for careers in the Earth Sciences and its many related disciplines. They become scientists and scholars, educators and advocates, urban planners and naturalists. They learn to embrace challenge, champion ideas, and to always be ready for whatever is next. And they gain the confidence and skills to take active, contributing roles as stewards and citizens of the earth.
Programs Offered
The Department of the Earth Sciences offers four majors: earth science, geology, meteorology, and water resources.
