Pre-RFPEducation & TrainingDetected Jun 12, 2026

Towson University received Board of Regents committee approval on June 2, 2026 to establish a new Bachelor of Science in Climate Change & Community Resilience, with full Board action scheduled June 12, 2026 and implementation targeted for Fall 2026. The program is positioned at the intersection of climate science, urban and environmental planning, disaster preparedness, and community resilience, and will be delivered within existing departmental resources initially. This launch will drive needs for curriculum materials, climate and GIS datasets, community-partnered projects, and potentially consulting support around climate resilience planning, geospatial technology, and experiential learning placements as enrollments grow beyond about 30 majors.Vendors offering climate education content, GIS/remote sensing tools, community engagement platforms, and internship or workforce development partnerships can help TU scale the program, integrate applied projects with Maryland agencies and cities, and secure external funding for labs and fieldwork.

Program emphasizes geospatial technology (GIS), planning for resilient communities, and applied climatology; it is framed as an "in-demand academic program" responding to Maryland’s new Office of Resilience and local initiatives like Baltimore’s Community Resiliency Hubs.
