DEPARTMENT OF EARTH SYSTEM SCIENCE
ESS Honors Program
The Honors Program in Earth System Science provides an opportunity for selected students majoring in Earth and Environmental Sciences to pursue research with faculty in the Department during their senior year. Admission to the program is based on an application normally submitted by the sixth week of the spring quarter during the junior year.
To be considered, a student must have satisfied the following requirements:
1. Completion of all mathematics, chemistry, and physics requirements for the major
2. Completion of ESS 51, 53, and 55
3. Achievement of an overall GPA at UCI of at least 3.3
4. Achievement of a GPA in Earth System Science courses of 3.4
They must also demonstrate potential for carrying out research of honors quality, as judged by the Earth System Science faculty member who will supervise their research. Students in this program enroll in Honors Research in Earth System Science (H199 A-B-C) throughout their senior year and submit a formal thesis late in the spring quarter (H198).
If the thesis is deemed honors quality by the ESS faculty, and the student’s final GPA is above a 3.3, the student then graduates with Departmental Honors in Earth and Environmental Sciences.
Students will prepare and present a seminar, a poster, and a written thesis describing their research in Earth System Science. The thesis will be written in the style of a scientific manuscript, with separate Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion sections. This course is also open to Earth System Science majors participating in the Campuswide Honors Program.
Applications can be found in Croul Hall 3200 or here.
