BS in Sustainable Management & Policy
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
Description
SPEA at IUPUI created this new major because more and more government, private and nonprofit organizations are focusing on environmental conservation and economic and social responsibility. These organizations need graduates who don’t just point out problems, but who have the tools and smarts to address sustainability issues and bring real change to communities and companies. Other people may study the causes and effects of air and water pollution, for example; SPEA’s Sustainable Management and Policy alumni will work from within a company or government to make factories safer for the environment.
Like all of SPEA’s BSPA students, the people studying Sustainable Management and Policy will have a solid understanding of public affairs, finance, policy-making and civic engagement, combined with specialized classes in the principles of sustainability, environmental justice and green technologies.
