The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences was founded in the 1960's and has grown to offer the B.S, M.S and Ph.D degrees. Students have the option of pursuing concentrations in geoscience or coastal environmental science. UNO strives to offer our students new degree programs that reflect the needs of Louisiana.
