CipherTrigonal89 Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 To put it simply, what are some of the best environmental policy/sustainability programs that you'd all recommend? I recently finished a policy program myself (MPM, Georgetown), and there are some things that I'd still like to learn academically in regards to environmental and energy policy. I'm willing to put this on the backburner for now, but in the event that I decide to go back to school again, what are some options that I should look into if/when I decide to apply? One caveat though: I'm not willing to do another public policy program (strictly speaking) again because I've already done that. Beyond that, anything's fair game and I'm open to new suggestions. Thanks in advance.
IndominusTaco Posted December 22, 2023 Posted December 22, 2023 Not 100% sure what you're asking for since environmental policy is a subset of public policy. Most programs I've seen are either an MPP or MPA with some sort of concentration in environmental policy, which is what I'm applying for for fall 2024. Notable programs that I'm applying to that seem to be well-known for environmental policy are UC San Diego GPS, UW Evans, and CU Denver. US News lists Duke, Indiana, UC Berkeley, Harvard, and UMichigan Ford all in the top 5 as well. Indiana has a Master of Environmental Sustainability which might be along the lines of what you're looking for; I haven't looked at the courses but I'd imagine there's still a lot of public policy overlap since it's all within their school of policy/government affairs. I don't know why Ford ranks that high in environmental policy specifically since they don't even offer it as a policy concentration for MPP's.
