Minor Programs
The EAPS Department offers two minor programs:
- Minor in Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences
The program allows for specialization in Geoscience, Atmospheres, Oceans and Climate, Planetary Science and Astronomy, or Environmental Science. An EAPS minor degree complements planned degrees in civil engineering, chemistry, biology, physics, urban studies, ocean engineering, economics, aeronautics and astronautics, or applied mathematics. Advisor: Brian Evans brievans@mit.edu
