Earth and Environmental Sciences
Susquehanna’s earth and environmental sciences program links the study of geology, hydrology and meteorology to explore how earth’s systems work and how humans impact those systems.
Students work in the natural environment and may find themselves knee-deep in the nearby Susquehanna River or hiking in Death Valley, California.
Graduates work as teachers, wetland scientists, environmental policymakers… the list of options is as varied as student interests.
