Jane Teranes Climate Change Education Requirement (JTCCER)


 The establishment of the Jane Teranes Climate Change Education Requirement is a new graduation requirement for incoming first-year students, beginning fall 2024, and is designed to empower our students with the knowledge and skills needed to confront the urgent global challenge of climate change.


The JTCCER does not increase the number of courses required for graduation. Courses approved to satisfy the JTCCER will overlap with general education or Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) courses, as well as courses that apply to major and minor requirements.

Incoming transfer students are exempt from completing the JTCCER. We will explore applying the requirement to transfer students in the future.

The list of courses that will satisfy JTCCER will be forthcoming.
