Overview

Climate Science students at Oregon State University engage with a variety of topics within the coursework, including atmospheric science, oceanography, geology, and geography, with elective courses drawn from additional fields.

Core courses emphasize active learning, and students demonstrate skills through independent research or internships. In the capstone course, students synthesize climate science knowledge with data analysis and communication skills to produce recommendations for a Pacific Northwest stakeholder regarding some aspect of regional climate. A broad set of electives encourages students to explore and deepen their understanding of complementary fields.
