Students,
Interested in interdisciplinary learning, connecting with peers, and finding access to opportunities in climate science? The Program on Climate Change can help!
- Join the PCC Undergraduate Cohort (UCo), an RSO for undergraduates interested in climate science from across the university to connect with professional development resources, experts in the field of climate science, and fellow climate-minded undergraduates. More information here: https://pcc.uw.edu/research/undergraduate-climate-cohort/
- Join the Climate Undergraduates listserve to receive emails relevant to undergrads interested in working on the climate: https://mailman12.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/climateminor
- Explore the Self-Directed Undergraduate Climate Education page. This resource can guide you in building an individual climate education to complement your interests and degree program. These independent pathways develop skills and climate context important for a climate-impacted future in many fields. https://pcc.uw.edu/education/self-directed-climate-ed/
- Enroll in the Climate Science Minor. For those seeking a personalizable, interdisciplinary, educational program that broadens skills and understandings around climate science. Students are encouraged to meet with the Climate Science Minor Advisor, Miriam Bertram, for course planning because:
- Each year new courses are offered across the UW that can be used to satisfy the requirements. The advisor can help you sort these out.
- Take a foundational climate course (ESS 201 or ATM S 211) as soon as possible, preferably in your freshman or sophomore years.
- Once you take a foundations course, you can take the capstone course, ATM S/ESS/OCEAN 475, offered once a year. More information and sign up to talk to the advisor here: https://pcc.uw.edu/education/undergraduate-minor/
