Know students or colleagues interested in a career in climate?

March 15th is the deadline for regular admission to Bard CEP’s Masters in Climate Science and Policy.  Bard’s new program is one of a handful in the country with a rigorous, masters curriculum that interweaves climate science, environmental and natural resource economics, and climate law and policy. Bard’s program prepares graduates for careers facing the profound challenges of climate change mitigation and adaptation. 

Bard’s program covers all aspects of climate science and policy, but includes a unique focus on the agriculture and ecosystem impacts of climate change. Program faculty manage a 90-acre farm that serves as a research and teaching laboratory, and scientists from the world class Cary Institute for Ecosystem Studies also teach in the program. In their second year, students participate in a 4-6 month extended internship, gaining critical on-the-job experience. 

Over the coming decades, climate change will become an increasingly dominant force impacting the global economy and society. Workers trained to understand climate science, and the interplay between science, economics and politics, will provide critical skills to businesses, governments and non-profits.  Bard’s Masters in Climate Science and Policy provides the foundation for careers facing the climate change challenge.  

Merit and need-based grants are available, along with teaching and research assistantships. Combined, grants and assistantships can cover up to 2/3 of tuition.  Learn more at www.bard.edu/cep.
