Undergraduate Courses at IESM
At the Institute of Environmental Science and Meteorology (IESM), we offer select undergraduate courses designed to provide foundational knowledge in key environmental and atmospheric sciences. These courses are Environmental Science 1 (Env Sci 1), a general elective that introduces students to the complex relationships between the environment and society, and Meteorology 101 (Meteo 101), a science elective that offers a comprehensive overview of weather systems and atmospheric phenomena.
Course | Units | Course Description | Learning Outcomes |
---|---|---|---|
Environmental Science 1 | 3 | Introduction to principles and concepts in the study of the natural environment within a societal framework. | Explain the concepts, principles, processes regarding environmental science, particularly the interconnectedness of the major spheres; examine the impacts of human activities on the natural environment; and discuss some science-based measures that address environmental problems. |
Meteorology 101 | 3 | The atmosphere and its circulation; radiation and heat exchanges; weather disturbances; elementary climatology. 3 u. Prereq: Physics 72/COI | Explain the concepts, principles, and processes regarding meteorology particularly the atmosphere and its circulation; radiation and heat exchanges; weather disturbances; and elementary climatology |
As IESM primarily focuses on graduate-level education, these are the only undergraduate courses available, providing a unique opportunity for students to gain insights into these critical fields early in their academic careers. For students inspired by these courses, we warmly welcome you to explore our advanced graduate level programs. These programs offer deeper engagement and specialized training in environmental science and meteorology, paving the way for impactful careers and further academic pursuits.
