how cool is that!

Ever heard of science diving? We drill sediment cores from the bottom of glacial lakes, chase storms, uncover the causes of urban poverty, turn coal into jet fuel, develp smart materials, design fuel cells, study the digital divide, and assess environmental risk. Our undergraduates learn early that getting involved in research and independent study enriches their academic experience. All EMS majors feature opportunites for individual and group research projects. Most programs culminate in an undergraduate research thesis or capstone design course in the senior year.

EMS graduates make the world a better place.

As an energy engineer, you might help to find environmentally friendly energy solutions. As a meteorologist, you could increase the warning time for tornados. As a geographer, you could help an urban community understand how census data affect representation. As a materials scientist, you might improve the function of an artificial heart.

EMS students go places.

Between the yearly CAUSE class project and the many study abroad opportunities, EMS students can conveniently include significant international experience in their undergraduate career.
