BS in Climate Science

The BS in Climate Science is intended for students who wish to pursue employment in a variety of fields related to consulting, risk quantification, (re)insurance, meteorology, environmental management, and/or government sector. Students commonly go on to pursue graduate study in Climate Science. The courses are intended to provide a strong foundation in the Climate System in the past, present, and future.

Program Requirements and Policies

• For the BS degree in Climate Sciences, a total of fourteen (14) courses are required.
• The Chemistry and Physics courses must be taken with labs.
• In addition to the course requirements below, the following are strongly recommended:
  • CHEM 2, PHY 2 or PHY 12, MATH 21, MATH 34, CS 10, and research/internship experience.

Course Requirements

Students must complete the following eleven (11) ECS courses:

• ECS 1: Introduction to the Earth, Resources, and Environments
• ECS 2: Introduction to the Earth, Resources, and Environments Lab
• ECS 3: Introduction to Climate Science
