The interdisciplinary doctoral minor in Global Change includes three core classes: (a) global biogeochemical cycles; (b) the climate system; and (c) an interdisciplinary, integrative global change workshop. A fourth class comes from a list of diverse courses related to global energy and water cycles, biogeochemical foundations, tools for observing earth, earth system history, and human dimensions. The curriculum is supplemented by many research and educational activities of The University of Arizona's Institute for Study of Planet Earth (ISPE). Faculty and students associated with ISPE are involved in interdisciplinary research that spans much of the U.S. Global Change Research Program. ISPE also sponsors Global Change visitors, workshops, graduate fellowships, and curriculum ativities. Students taking a Global Change minor typically have a major in some field of science, engineering, or social science, along with an interest in acquiring a broader environmental earth system perspective.
