Environmental Policy programs?

[2shieh]

Hi everyone,

I'm planning on applying to MPP programs that have an environmental policy concentration, but I'm having a difficult time narrowing down the programs. Can anyone offer any advice? I know that I'll be applying to Evans and GSPP for sure, but was wondering if there were any other programs that I should consider?

Thanks!!

I know these aren't MPPs, but what about MPAs at SPEA or SIPA and the IEPP at SAIS?

Check out Duke's program. Yale has a great environmental management program as well.

Working in the field last year, it became very clear to me that Duke Sanford/Nicholas and Indiana SPEA are the lead programs in this area. Those two programs were responsible for more than two-thirds of the research and personnel I was working with in clean tech in China. It's one of the main reasons I chose Duke.

I agree with the recommendations on Duke and Indiana, but would also put in a strong vote for Berkeley. GSPP is quite small, but the university-wide strengths of Berkeley in the environmental sphere are very impressive. Also, GSPP offers an excellent 'core' training in policy analysis and methods. I think GSPP is probably the best all-around choice, followed closely by Duke.
