Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education Earth Science

Earth System Scientists integrate multiple fields of study to address the grand challenges our growing global population faces, such as sea-level rise, climate change, life near geologic hazards, and sustainable sources of energy. As a student pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Earth Science, Secondary Teacher Certification, youll learn the application of the scientific method to enhance our understanding of the four principal components of the Earth System Geosphere, Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, and Biosphere and the connections that exist among these components to produce complex planetary-scale phenomena, such as climate change. At EMU, the Geology Program focuses on the Geosphere component of the Earth System, whereas the Earth Science Program broadly addresses all four components.
