Environmental Studies

This degree is directed toward the implementation of complex environmental solutions, balancing policy-oriented approaches to environmental problems with knowledge on the science behind them. You’ll learn how to develop and evaluate cost-effective policy alternatives, generate public and political support for resource utilization practices that lower humanity's impact on the planet, enact legislation, and devise mechanisms that invite or ensure compliance or enhance understanding of the issue. Course selection is flexible to allow customization to your own interests within areas of law, business, communication, sustainability, climate, technology, and other diverse aspects of environmental justice and equity.
