Constellation: How Does Climate Change Affect Our World?

Climate change intersects with nearly every field of knowledge, from anthropology to zoology. This Constellation invites students to examine climate change from a wide range of disciplines, equipping them to engage with its complexities and implications in their daily lives.

Students enroll in one fall course and one spring course for their matched Constellation. Students are assigned to the fall semester to enroll in one integrated W120 course.
