Climate, Environment, and Society, BA

Course requirements for the climate, environment, and society major are structured so you can understand how climatic, economic, cultural, and political processes transform the earth’s environment and are, in turn, shaped by it. To complete the major, you’ll take courses distributed across six components:

• CES 101: Introduction to Climate, Environment and Society
• Three introductory core courses provide foundational knowledge of earth’s biophysical and societal systems.
• One quantitative literacy course where you’ll develop the skills to interpret and communicate complex data
• Two skills courses, with choices ranging from data visualization to GIS and analysis
• Four elective courses, including problems of practice options
• A capstone credit with flexibility to complete an internship, take an upper-level course, participate in a directed study, conduct an honors project, or participate in a research experience
