Earth and Environmental Science (B.S.)-STEM

The Earth and Environmental Studies program trains future scientists to tackle pressing environmental challenges. Students gain expertise in understanding climate change processes and impacts, identifying and analyzing environmental contaminants, and developing innovative solutions for pollution remediation in air, water, and soil. The curriculum also explores human interactions with coastal ecosystems, responsible land use planning, water resource management, and the dynamic processes shaping our planet from its core to the atmosphere. Students pursuing careers in environmental sciences will benefit from earning a degree in Earth and Environmental Science. At Montclair State University, each program includes a structured core curriculum while allowing students the flexibility to choose electives in areas such as Earth Surface Processes and Hydrology, Environmental Quality and Remediation, Geology & Geophysics, or GIS and Remote Sensing. Additionally, those seeking to enhance their qualifications can explore post-graduate certificate programs in Environmental Forensics, Geographic Information Science and Remote Sensing, and Water Resource Management.
