  • Environmental science is an interdisciplinary academic field that integrates physical and life sciences (including physics, chemistry, biology, ecology, soil science, geology, and geography) to the study of the environment and environmental systems and to the solution of environmental problems. Earth science is an all-encompassing term for the science related to the planet Earth, including the study of the solid earth (lithosphere), the atmosphere, the hydrosphere (including the oceans), and the biosphere. This major blends these academic fields into a coherent interdisciplinary program applying geoscience skills and knowledge to environmental issues, problems, and solutions. This initiative complements other initiatives with the College of Arts and Science to expand environmental programs and offerings and interdisciplinary pursuits. Fundamentally, this is an Earth Science major but with a more interdisciplinary approach.
  • Environmental earth scientists are trained to work in a variety of areas crossing numerous disciplines. With concerns about shortages and conservation of natural resources, environmental pollution, and global climate change in today's society, many environmental earth scientists are involved in developing alternative energy systems, investigating, mitigating, and controlling pollution solving problems associated with waste disposal, promoting sustainable urban development, and understanding the causes and effects of global climate change. Environmental earth scientists study the human influence upon the earth and provide basic information needed to solve problems and establish rational policies for resource management, environmental protection, and public health safety and welfare.
  • The Bachelor of Arts (A.B.) degree in Environmental Earth Science is designed for those students who are interested in geosciences and applying their geosciences pursuits to environmental issues, problems, and solutions. This degree offering reflects the fact that most of our faculty are involved in environmental research and study. The degree includes a core of introductory geosciences, environmental science, hydrogeology, and geomorphology, or sedimentology/stratigraphy. Required electives include a wide array of upper-level courses that address environmental themes, teach tools of environmental science, or are otherwise cross-disciplinary by nature. By petition, some elective requirements may be fulfilled by courses in other natural sciences or Geography. This degree also requires courses in mathematics/statistics, chemistry, physics, and the life sciences.

    • The student’s country of origin is also an English-speaking country and English is your native language.
    • An associate or bachelor's degree from a U.S. institution of higher education
    • Course equivalency of Miami University's English composition requirement at another U.S. university or community college (not English as a Second Language course). students must provide an official transcript showing a minimum grade of C or better.

    • Enrollment in IB English A at either the Higher or Standard Level as part of a full IB Diploma program.
    • Graduation from a U.S. high school following three years of continuous enrollment will lead to placement in the ACE program unless additional proof of English Proficiency is also submitted. 
    • Most international students are not required to provide an ACT or SAT score, but they may use the ACT or SAT to satisfy English language proficiency requirements.

Note: Miami has chosen to make test scores optional for students applying to the university through Spring 2023 to ensure equitable opportunity for admission, scholarships, and honors programs due to the COVID-19.
