About Environmental Geosciences in Purdue University
The Environmental Geoscience major offers an interdisciplinary curriculum that immerses students in the fundamentals of geology, chemistry, atmospheric science, biology, and physics.
This coursework prepares our students to help solve challenging environmental problems such as climate change, emerging pollutants, shrinking and shifting energy resources, and food production ecology. The Environmental Geoscience is flexible, allowing students to create a curriculum focused on their particular scientific passion: air quality, soil and sediments, or hydrology.
Graduates develop quantitative problem-solving skills that make them highly competitive for careers or further graduate school studies related to water quality and availability, air pollution and climate, and soil and sediment geochemistry.
Careers in Environmental Geosciences
Graduates work in places such as NASA during planning of space missions or gas and oil companies locating and planning new fields. Students work as scientists, researchers, engineers, educators, environmental regulators, and with the government. In addition, many students go to graduate school for advanced study.
