We encourage you to learn more about the options for EPS undergraduate study by exploring the resources below. If you have any questions, please reach out to Campbell Halligan or the Head Tutors.

EPS Concentrations

Students are strongly encouraged to consult with a faculty advisor during their first year to plan appropriate choices of coursework in mathematics, chemistry, and physics. All essential information regarding primary, double, and joint-allied concentration requirements can be found in the Green Book.

Please also refer to the Curricular Cheat Sheet for more information.

Secondary Field

The EPS secondary field is intended to provide a strong foundation in one or more subfields of Earth sciences (geobiology, geochemistry, geophysics, climate science, atmospheric chemistry, oceanography, geology, earth history, paleontology, and planetary science) to students who have sufficient preparation in mathematics, chemistry, and physics.

Planning Tools

Students are encouraged to track their course requirements using worksheets available on the Undergraduate Forms page.

Department Tutorial

EPS hosts six department tutorials each year, during which EPS faculty speak informally about their research. All EPS concentrators are required to attend a minimum of five tutorials prior to graduation.Tutorial dates for 2023-2024 are: October 4, November 1, November 29, February 7, March 6, and April 3. All tutorials will run from 6-7 PM and will be hosted in the Hoffman Faculty Lounge on the fourth floor.
