Environmental Policy and ManagementEnvironmental Policy and ManagementBachelor of Science
CIP: 030104
Human modification of the environment has been evident since the beginning of civilization and has proceeded at an accelerating rate from the Industrial Revolution to present day. Human activities (i.e., anthropogenic activities) worsened by overpopulation of the planet have affected soil, water, vegetation, climate, animal life, as well as the surface of the earth itself. Unawareness of environmental deterioration has forced us to seek remedies in an effort to make an environmentally sustainable future. Thus, there is a need for women and men to recognize, quantify, and seek solutions to environmental problems. The major in Environmental Policy and Management is designed to provide students with a broad interdisciplinary foundation in the fundamentals of both the policy and management of the environment and its impacts on humanity.
