Environmental Management programs, minors, and the Certificate in Sustainability offer interdisciplinary study of the connections among the environment, sustainable development, society, the economy, law, and public policy. Through the Specialist, Major, Minor, Environmental Law & Policy Minor, Sustainability Minor, and Certificate in Sustainability, students examine environmental challenges from legal, political, economic, social, cultural, ethical, and ecological perspectives while developing knowledge that complements a wide range of disciplines and supports sustainable, environmentally responsible decision-making.
Perspectives from the Social Sciences and Humanities support the exploration of environmental politics, economics, sociology, law, ethics, history, and literature, while foundational studies in Science provide an understanding of natural systems. The programs also develop specialized knowledge and analytical skills in resource management, environmental assessment, sustainability, and the social, economic, and policy dimensions of environmental change.
Students in the Environmental Management Specialist or Major may also apply to the corresponding Combined Degree Program with the Master of Science in Sustainability Management (MScSM). For guidance on program requirements, course selection, or academic pathways, consult the Academic Advisor.
