Incoming first-year students at UC San Diego have a new graduation requirement: the ability to “understand and address climate change.”
School officials said the requirement would be the first such one at a major public university.
That means the approximately 7,000 students in the class of 2028 will need to take one of 40 courses available to satisfy the requirement. A variety of majors have courses in the course catalog that satisfy the obligation, including the obvious, like environmental studies, but also the possibly overlooked, like economics (Energy Economics), history (China Since 1878, and the Anthropocene IV: The Great Acceleration) and visual arts (Bending the Curve: Climate Change Solutions, and Environmentalism in Arts Media).
