Courses in air quality and atmospheric science
Graduate students conducting research in CAPS are all enrolled in a graduate program in one of the five member departments (Civil and Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Engineering and Public Policy, Mechanical Engineering). As such, they pursue the core requirements of a research degree in that department. However, each department also provides sufficient flexibility that allows all of our students to follow a coherent core of common courses in air quality, atmospheric sciences and chemistry, climate science, environmental chemistry, and the chemistry, microphysics, and sources and sinks of particulate matter.
