Interdepartmental Program in Mathematics and Atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences

A new undergraduate interdepartmental program (IDP) combining courses from the Mathematics and Atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences (A&OS) departments has been created. The program is designed to provide rigorous mathematical training with a comprehensive background in topics relevant to atmospheric, oceanic and environmental sciences. The program is intended to provide particularly good preparation for graduate studies in a streamlined course of study.

The IDP curriculum consists of six upper division courses in Mathematics and six in A&OS, along with their lower division prerequisites and a "capstone" course in which a research project or thesis is produced.
