The Columbia Climate School’s Office of Undergraduate Programs, previously known as the Undergraduate Program in Sustainable Development (SDEV), is undergoing changes that reflect the Climate School’s growing multidisciplinary and collaborative approach to sustainability.
The new Office of Undergraduate Programs will encompass all undergraduate programs administered through the Climate School, which now include a new major in Climate and Sustainability—jointly offered with the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences—and a minor in Sustainable Development. These expanded offerings incorporate natural sciences, social sciences and humanities in addressing climate and sustainability issues, and bring together students and professors with varied experiences and interests to tackle some of the world’s biggest challenges.
