Environmental, Sustainability, and Geographic Studies

Environmental, Sustainability, and Geographic Studies is a Bachelor program taught at Western Kentucky University, USA. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time options.

The B.S. in Environmental, Earth, and Sustainability Sciences (EESS) prepares students to understand and solve environmental challenges through an integrated study of environmental sciences, geosciences, sustainability, and environmental management. Students study topics that support environmental consulting and compliance, geoscience, GIS/remote sensing, sustainability planning, natural resource and environmental management, geotechnical and engineering support, climate and conservation, and careers with government agencies, or they continue to graduate study and Professional Geologist (PG) licensure pathways. Students choose between two concentrations: Environmental and Sustainability Sciences (ENSS) and Environmental and Geological Sciences (ENGS).

Instruction includes immersive fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and geospatial/data-science training. The major requires 48-53 hours and leads to a Bachelor of Science degree. The program includes a common core with geographic and geoscience courses such as Environmental Science and Sustainability, Geographic Information Systems I, Writing in the Geosciences, and Geoscience Statistical Analysis, plus professional preparation. Concentration coursework focuses on either global sustainability, environmental processes and resource management, and geospatial applications (ENSS) or earth materials and environmental processes, energy and critical minerals, and hydrology (ENGS).
