Many ESS students go on to graduate school programs and careers as research scientists in academic, public, or private institutions. Students are prepared to enter the workforce directly as scientists in a diverse array of fields including environmental policy and planning, environmental consulting, air quality monitoring and assessment, laboratory analysis, scientific research, science education, natural resource management, wildlife management, conservation and environmental protection, and water resource management.
The Department now offers a Careers in Earth System Science course (ESS 192) where representatives from various businesses and agencies related to the major come and speak with our students on a weekly basis. This is a wonderful opportunity for our majors to gain a better understanding of what types of jobs are available to them after graduation.
