Master of Environmental Science and Management
Environmental Policy and Management
This interdisciplinary track prepares students for positions requiring an ability to integrate natural science into policy development and implementation affecting ecosystems, landscapes, land use and development, environmental regulation of industry, and conservation of biological diversity or environmental quality.
Students take coursework in social sciences, such as policy and economics; and natural sciences such as geology, hydrology, soil science, conservation ecology, remote sensing, or spatial analysis.
Graduates are prepared for careers in federal, state, or municipal government, nonprofit organizations, and private consulting firms requiring professionals who can bring science to bear on policy and management solutions that succeed in a modern political and economic setting.
