The B.S. Earth Science with concentration in Natural Hazards is designed to provide students with a fundamental background in the underlying science of natural hazards (hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, drought, earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, volcanic eruptions, asteroid impacts, wild fires, and climate change) along with electives in Public Health and Forensics that address elements of the human consequences and response to these natural disasters. The offering is designed for students who are interested in working for governmental (local, state, and federal) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that help mitigate and provide relief for natural disasters.
