The Schiller Institute for Integrated Science and Society brings together all members of our campus community to address society’s most challenging problems, particularly in the areas of energy, health, and the environment. Through interdisciplinary scholarship, initiatives, courses, and events, we enhance Boston College’s rich history of working across disciplines to develop new knowledge that makes a real-world impact.

As one of the defining issues of our time, climate change touches every thread of the social fabricate. Also, what we choose to do (or not to do) has long-lasting implications for many generations to come. This interdisciplinary course, to be co-taught by three core faculty members of the Schiller Institute, focuses on the intersection of sustainable growth, renewable energy and climate science. Designed for graduate students as well as junior/senior undergraduate students in STEM, the course aims to provide a comprehensive, yet in-depth overview of the complex interrelationships between these key areas and how they may interact to shape the future of our planet. (Interested non-STEM students are encouraged to reach out to the instructors about course requirements.)
