Earth and Environmental Sciences (EES) (BA)
Vanderbilt University
Description
Students in EES participate in field and laboratory work as an important part of their studies. The relatively small size of the faculty and student body allows many opportunities for faculty-student interactions. Most students undertake individualized research projects in conjunction with ongoing faculty projects. Students use the major as preparation for graduate studies in the Earth and environmental sciences or related fields, for careers in environmental studies and management, geological assessment and resource exploration (e.g. petroleum, minerals), or in fields such as land-use planning, teaching, law and engineering.
