A background in earth science is unique in that it combines many fields into a unified physical science; as such, the study of earth science is a valuable addition to a variety of scientific disciplines. To address these needs, Dartmouth offers a major in earth sciences and environmental earth sciences. These programs are intended to provide a background in earth sciences sufficient for graduate work or employment in the field. Degrees may also be modified with earth sciences to provide a specific and unified course of study. For example, physics, chemistry, astronomy, and environmental studies may be modified with earth sciences.
