  • The global water cycle including causes and consequences of sea level rise, and sustainability of water resources
  • The global energy economy, including conventional and alternative energy sources, technology, and policy
  • Rapid climate change including changes in the mean and variation in temperature and precipitation and their effects on managed and natural ecosystems, including biodiversity and agroecosystems

Clarification: ESGP Specializations are not OSU Graduate Minors or Interdisciplinary Specializations

The specializations listed above apply only to ESGP students. Once an ESGP student completes the requirements for an ESGP specialization, the accomplishment is written onto the student’s official university transcript as a note under the degree program.

By contrast, there are other graduate minors and interdisciplinary specializations available at the university level that are open to any graduate students, including ESGP students. These are like “mini-degrees” outside of any one student’s graduate program. More information about these university-wide graduate minors/specializations can be found at the Graduate School.
