Courses
The Global Change minor requires three core courses (7 credits total) and two electives (6 credits total). The goals of the coursework are to broaden knowledge and experience in global change, to help graduate students orient their research in the context of a larger interdisciplinary arena, and to provide tools to advance their individual careers as scholars and practitioners in the area of global change. Students should indicate their intent to declare the Global Change minor and seek input on their coursework well in advance of submitting their Plan of Study to take full advantage of this program.
Core Courses
Three core courses are required for the GC Minor.
GC 578 - Global Change (3 units)
GC 597A - Global Change Workshop (3 units)
GC 695G - Global Change Toolkit (1 unit)
Electives
Global change electives should broaden the student’s knowledge of the field, not simply provide additional depth in the major area of study. Two approved elective courses (6 credits total) are required. A current list of approved electives can be found at www.globalchange.arizona.edu under Program/Course Requirements.
The electives should be selected from the approved electives list with guidance and endorsement by the Global Change Ph.D. Minor faculty on the student’s committee. If the student’s research is in the physical/biological sciences, at least one elective course must be chosen from the social science/policy area (List A). If the student’s research is in the social sciences/ humanities, at least one elective course must be chosen from the physical/biological sciences (List B). In addition to the approved electives list, many departmental seminars are relevant to interdisciplinary global change and may be approved for elective credit. Such substitutions must receive advance approval by a member of the Global Change executive committee and fulfill the “broadening” objectives as described above.
