The University of Michigan's Global Change Curriculum, part of the Program in the Environment, offers an innovative approach in undergraduate science and social science education. In interdisciplinary, team-taught courses the topic of Global Change from physical and human perspectives are examined, and case studies are used to explore scenarios for sustainability. Complementary small-group sessions are used to promote students' critical thinking and analysis. The courses are mostly aimed at first and second year students who want to understand the historical and modern aspects of Global Change. These two 4-credit courses include hands-on sections and carry NS or SS distribution credit. A Minor in Global Change can be completed in the first few years of study, with the two Global Change Courses at its core. Students learn further through the completion of one 200-level class and two electives from campus-wide courses in bio-, geo- or sociosphere.
