UChicago September Term

September Term

After taking a set of foundational courses, Climate and Sustainable Growth majors will apply what they learned to an experiential course offered during the September term. The course widens students’ perspectives by taking them around the world to places pivotal to understanding the climate and sustainable growth challenge. For example, they could see what it is like to live in an emerging economy with little reliable electricity, witness in real time the trade-offs of living in an energy producing community, understand the decisions made by capital allocators making energy investments, and more.
