MA/MS in Environmental/Natural Resources Management and Policy

Offered by the Brooks School of Public Policy, this master's degree approaches environmental threats through social science, law and regulation rather than engineering or business. It responds to climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution and food and water insecurity. Coursework treats environmental law and ethics, justice, economics, political analysis, statistics and data work, preparing graduates for policy-focused careers. A special committee of faculty guides each student, and progress is tracked through milestones set by the Graduate School and the field. Applicants should look closely at faculty research interests before applying, because the fit between a student's goals and the available mentors shapes the whole experience.
