About the Major

Beginning in Fall 2025, undergraduates at the University of Chicago will have the opportunity to major, or minor, in Climate and Sustainable Growth. Using a 360-degree approach, the program provides students with a foundational grounding of the climate and growth challenge, a deep dive into a track of their choice, and experiential learning to widen their perspectives of the challenge. The major/minor will reside within the Physical Sciences Collegiate Division.
