The Environmental Policy and Planning (EPP) program offers students a multidisciplinary approach to addressing ecological challenges. Participants will gain essential expertise to become effective policymakers and planners capable of tackling intricate environmental concerns and creating sustainable resolutions. Although scientific and technological advancements play a vital role, they require complementary policies and strategies that account for varied political, economic, social, organizational, and legal frameworks. The EPP curriculum expands upon the Public and Urban Affairs (PUA) foundational coursework, which equips students with core competencies in governance, planning, policy development, and global relations. This major further enhances these fundamentals through an integrated course progression examining environmental regulations, urban development strategies, and land management policies.
