Questions about concentrating in ESPP?

Welcome!  If you are considering ESPP as your concentration, we recommend taking an introductory course in your first year. It’s also helpful to start math and chemistry early, if your schedule allows. These courses will introduce you to core environmental topics and give you the background needed for advanced coursework in ESPP.  Full list of ESPP course requirements. If you have any questions about course selection or the concentration, ESPP advisors are happy to help you plan your studies/courses.
