The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Carleton College $374,671 on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to expand implementation and adoption of the Math Your Earth Science Majors Need modules across undergraduate earth science instruction. The project will enhance integration of quantitative skills—mathematics and statistics concepts applied to earth science topics—into undergraduate earth science courses and programs at multiple institution types. Carleton will provide undergraduate faculty with co-curricular learning modules, professional development opportunities, and implementation support to strengthen students' quantitative proficiency and self-efficacy in preparation for advanced coursework, graduate study, and the modern scientific workforce. The initiative targets approximately 60 instructors and over 1,800 students across geoscience subdisciplines, addressing persistent barriers to quantitative literacy in earth science education. The project runs through September 30, 2029, with place of performance at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. The award is classified as a Project Grant under the Track 1 Engaged Student Learning Track Level 2 IUSE (Improving Undergraduate STEM Education) initiative, which supports faculty and institutional capacity-building in STEM education.
