Mission Statement:

The mission of the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences is to prepare students for a successful post-graduate career in one or more earth and environmental science fields, and instill values of responsible environmental citizenship in all students who interact with our programs. We do this in accordance with the overall mission of Juniata College.

Background Information:

The Earth and Environmental Sciences (EES) Department strives to train Juniata College students to solve problems related to the Earth system and to understand how these problems influence aesthetic, economic, natural resource, environmental, intellectual, and ethical issues facing society. EES students have the opportunity to choose from curricula offered by the department including: (1) environmental science, (2) environmental studies, (3) geology, (4) wildlife conservation, and (5) secondary certification in earth and space science or environmental education. Environmental science focuses on the scientific study of the relationship between humans and the natural world; Environmental studies examines that relationship from a social science and humanities perspective; Geology is the scientific study of the Earth system; Secondary education in earth and space sciences or environmental prepares students for certification to teach Earth sciences or environmental sciences at the secondary level; and Wildlife conservation focuses on an understanding and protection of biodiversity.
