The Minor in Climate Change Studies, administered by the Department of Geography, Environment, and Spatial Sciences, provides students with a broad understanding of the causes and consequences of climate change. The minor includes a comprehensive examination of rising temperatures, sea-level rise, and changes in extreme weather patterns such as flooding and drought. It also emphasizes understanding the societal impacts of these changes, spanning across various sectors including water, energy, transportation, wildlife, agriculture, ecosystems, population migration, and human health. Students engage in exploring the fundamental question: “How can society effectively transition towards a more resilient and sustainable future?”.
