Overview
This bill requires New Jersey’s four-year public colleges and universities to require all undergraduate students to complete one course focused on climate change before graduating. The goal is to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to address the global issue of climate change. Institutions will have flexibility in determining which courses fulfill this requirement, including upper-level courses that dedicate a significant portion of their content to the topic. The policy will apply to students starting their studies at these institutions after the bill becomes law.
