About

In 2017 UBC’s departments of EOAS and Geography embarked on an ambitious partnership with the University of Central Asia (UCA) to design, develop and transfer a 22-course curriculum making up UCA’s new undergraduate B.Sc. program in Earth and Environmental Sciences (EES) focusing on issues of importance to mountain societies. The project was coordinated out of EOAS and employed 11 scientists with science or geoscience education expertise to build this diverse set of courses spanning introductory science to specialist courses in environmental and geological sciences.
