Cornell ESS Major

I’m a incoming freshman, not in CALS, but I’m a bit interested in the Environmental and Sustainability Sciences (ESS) major.

  • If I were to transfer in my second year, would it be difficult to complete all graduation requirements in 4 years?
  • How good is the major?
  • If I couldn't complete the major in time, would there be any combination of majors/minors similar to the ESS degree (Other colleges usually have Environmental Studies, or a combination such as Econ, Science of Earth Systems, Political Science, etc.)
