The Earth Systems Program is an interdisciplinary environmental science major. Students learn about and independently investigate complex environmental problems caused by human interaction with natural systems. Earth Systems majors become skilled in those areas of science, economics, and policy needed to tackle the globe’s most pressing environmental problems and sustainability challenges.
Please see academic tracks for specific foundation and breadth requirements for each track.
Please see program forms & guides for frequently used Earth Systems documents, including the Earth Systems-maintained Environmental courses list at Stanford.
