Earth Science has a clear global focus- climate change, preservation, natural disasters, and the exploration for natural resources are things affecting countries across the world. Studying abroad offers Earth science majors the unique opportunity to get out in the world and see what planet Earth is made of, how it works, and how other people regard and study it. Studying Abroad can also be a great time to gain cross-cultural skills by satisfying general education requirements or the elective credits allotted to Earth Science majors.
