Welcome

Earth Systems Undergraduate Program
Earth Systems majors become skilled in areas of science, economics, and policy needed to tackle the globe's most pressing environmental problems, becoming part of a generation of scientists, professionals, and citizens who approach and solve problems in a new way: a systematic and interdisciplinary way. Earth Systems students take courses in the fundamentals of biology, calculus, chemistry, geology, and physics, as well as economics, policy, and statistics. After completing Foundations and Breadth training, they concentrate on advanced work in one of six Tracks: biology, energy, environmental economics and policy, land systems, sustainable food and agriculture, or oceanography. Additionally, students will supplement their training with Electives to further develop their focus areas or incorporate new academic perspectives. Find out even more about the major here.

Skills Classes
This page is designed for students to find peer reviews of classes they thought were valuable in providing a specific, usable skill. So much of Stanford is focused on building our theoretical and conceptual understanding without really introducing us to the practical tools that are actually used by practitioners in our fields. We hope this will be a great resource for students hoping to find these sorts of classes.
