Environment, Ethics & Public Policy (B.A.)

Our major in environment, ethics and public policy incorporates science, ethics, law and policy to illuminate the problems and potential solutions related to global warming and the great environmental challenges of our time. You’ll learn how to ask the big questions and take an executive approach to environmental problem solving. You’ll graduate ready to be a leader in this increasingly complex and critical field. Course work includes field experience in Manchester or Washington, D.C., computer-based simulations and internships and is geared toward environmental concerns on campus, in the community and beyond.
