The BA and BS in Climate Change Studies share an interdisciplinary core highlighting the multi- and interdisciplinary causes and effects of climate change, and prepares students to become leaders in creating multi- and interdisciplinary responses to the same.
The BS degree emphasizes coursework in the sciences, technology, and engineering. Students pursuing this option will be prepared for career pathways that require an in-depth background in these fields, such as environmental science, “green” construction, conservation, renewable energy, technical aspects of sustainability, and more. The comprehensive background required by this degree (63-65 credits) prepares students for a career in scientific research, consulting, and applications.
Courses cannot be double-counted between the Foundational and the Focus Areas. At least 12 credits in the Focus Areas must be at the 300 level or higher, with at least 6 of these credits at the 400 level. At least 2 different designators must be represented in the courses taken in the Focus Areas. A minor is not required with this major.
