专业概况

在这里学什么？

The Environmental Policy and Sustainability concentration is an 18-credit-hour course of study within the Master of Public Affairs that prepares students with the ideas and technical skills needed to address the challenges and opportunities found in handling environmental and sustainability issues in cities, nonprofits, and corporations.

This Environmental Policy and Sustainability concentration leverages the expertise of SPEA IUPUI’s faculty and has an above average expected job growth average (11 percent) in the environmental fields between 2014 and 2024. Those projections are based on the heightened interest of the public in hazards caused by the environment and population growth.

Environmental issues in current events

Over the past decades, events such as the Flint water crisis or the Deepwater Horizon oil spill have brought environmental protection to the center of attention.

Environmental issues span jurisdictional boundaries. The list of issues is long and includes matters such as air and water protection at or near industrial sites, mercury and lead exposure, environmental justice, urban green space, and climate change.

Learn to:

• Assess and analyze environmental issues to make appropriate, theoretically informed policy recommendations to solve those problems
• Evaluate barriers to successful environmental policy and generate innovative solutions to improve adoption and implementation of proposed policy
• Critically interpret and conduct technical analyses that contribute to the understanding of current environmental issues
• Present complex ideas clearly and systematically in verbal, graphical, and written forms.

Career opportunities

• Environmental planner
• Sustainability consultant
• Environmental policy analyst
• Corporate sustainability professional
• City sustainability manager or director
• Manager of an environmental nonprofit
• Green business owner or employee
• Research analyst
• Compliance auditor
