A major in Earth and Environmental Geoscience leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree is recommended for students interested in careers outside of science, including business, law, or policy, and requires 36 credits, with at least 28 credits in Earth and Environmental Geoscience as follows:

Core: EEG 200
Capstone: EEG 390
At least three 200-level EEG laboratory courses totaling 12 credits.
At least two 300-level EEG courses (excluding EEG 390 and EEG 395) totaling between 6-8 credits.
Additional credits chosen from Earth and Environmental Geoscience at the 100, 200, or 300 level towards the 28 credit EEG requirement. (only one 100-level EEG lab course may count towards the major)
