Overview

The Computer Science and Climate program offered by Harvey Mudd College considers that climate change is one of the grand challenges of our time and the field of computer science has enormous potential to shape our collective future. Computer science innovation expands the possibilities for many climate-relevant areas including climate justice, clean energy system infrastructure, earth system data retrieval, and climate prediction. Given the prevalence of large, complex datasets in climate science, computational thinking supports the development of climate literacy, while complementary coursework in climate science, impacts, interventions, and contexts adds breadth and perspective for students who wish to become knowledgeable in this highly interdisciplinary space. Our philosophy supports graduates who are human-factor conscious, ethics aware, and impact literate.

Key Facts

Students pursuing the joint major in computer science and climate will complete foundational coursework in the principles of computer science, data structures, discrete mathematics, and professional computing practices as well as either computer systems or algorithms, and will select computer science electives that support their intended career path. Students will also choose from a menu of climate courses that fulfill requirements across several dimensions of climate change. Foundational coursework in thermodynamics, along with a choice of additional STEM breadth will ensure students are prepared for advanced study in climate or related programs. And, joint majors will complete a course in human-centered thinking, supporting the philosophical goals of this program.
