Dear GEP Colleagues, Does anyone know of existing surveys of undergraduate majors specifically focused on climate change, or specific examples of such majors?
We are in the early stages of expanding offerings in climate change at Harvey Mudd College, with the possibility of eventually offering a climate solutions major that would consist of 2/3 STEM courses and 1/3 humanities, social sciences, and/or the arts (HSA). This reflects the current curricular balance at the school, which offers only STEM majors, balanced with general coursework in HSA. I am hoping to get a sense of what is already out there. Certainly there are atmospheric science majors and environmental studies majors galore, but I wonder what majors exist with a specific focus on the scientific and social dimensions of climate change? If you don't know of surveys, but do know of specific examples, that would also be helpful. For ease of collection, kindly post any information or insights on the following google doc: http://bit.ly/climatemajors Thank you in advance, Paul Steinberg -- Paul F.
