Earth and Environmental Science BA
The degree in earth and environmental science at Wilkes University is flexible, and when paired with a non-science minor such as education, political science, English or business can lead to many exciting career paths. This bachelor of arts program is ideal if you’re interested in a specialized career path such as teaching, environmental law or business consulting.
If your goal is to teach high school sciences, there is a track specifically designed for you, and will satisfy the requirements leading to a Pennsylvania Secondary Teaching Certificate in Earth and Space Science. By adding courses in chemistry and biology, you will also satisfy the requirements for a Pennsylvania teaching certification in general science.
