Our partnership with the Argonne National Laboratory brings senior scientists and engineers to campus as course instructors and provides you with valuable applied research and internship opportunities. The curriculum allows for both students with limited exposure to the sciences, as well as those with established scientific backgrounds. The degree takes a balanced and holistic approach to policy analysis, focusing on the interrelatedness of environmental issues, such as energy, water, and natural resources, and their relationship with economic, social, technology and regulatory drivers.
