In-depth knowledge in a chosen area of concentration

Vision

Our highly analytical program provides training in the social and natural sciences for future policymakers, those who offer them expert advice, and those who try to influence policy through the political process. With a small class size and low student-faculty ratio, the program gives students a strong foundation in the methods needed to analyze how households, businesses, governments and other stakeholders react to existing and proposed environmental and resource policies.

Curriculum

Our core curriculum trains students in environmental economics, law and politics and the use of quantitative tools such as regression analysis, program evaluation, risk analysis, geospatial analysis, optimization, conflict resolution and benefit-cost analysis.

To complement this, you’ll work with your advisor to choose a specialization track and select natural science courses to build a cohesive and marketable set of skills customized to your career aspirations.

Collective action
Interest group behavior
