Description
Students in the Environmental and Sustainability Studies Program may participate in a concurrent degree program with the Master of Public Administration program, receiving two master's degrees in three years, rather than four. This concurrent degree program prepares students for the challenges of a career in the environmental field. Courses examine the development and implementation of public policy responses to environmental issues, and students gain a greater understanding of how information should be used to assess societal risk and create policy. Through courses offered in the Master of Public Administration program, students learn how to effectively manage organizational resources and navigate political settings.
