The Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences offers three undergraduate degrees: a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Atmospheric Science; a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Climate Science; and a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Interdisciplinary Studies with a faculty-initiated concentration in Environmental Science. These degrees are recognized as particularly challenging and attract students of high caliber who are interested in studying the fundamental processes operating within the atmosphere and broader environment.
