We prepare graduate researchers for careers that integrate science, management, and policy, while advancing Climate Adaptation Science for the threatened landscape of the Interior West.
The Climate Adaptation Science (CAS) Program is a 9-credit interdisciplinary graduate specialization that is available to MS and PhD students at Utah State University. The program provides students with direct experience in actionable science through internships and research.
According to the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine's 2018 Consensus Study Report “Graduate STEM Education for the 21st Century,” the skills emphasized in the CAS program align with that of an “ideal, student-centered STEM graduate education system.” This revitalized graduate STEM education program gives students the opportunity to acquire broad technical literacy, encounter various points of view about science, have multiple mentors (including those from beyond academia), communicate their results to different audiences, think about broader impacts, work on team projects, and explore career options in a context where nonacademic careers are not stigmatized.
