This interdisciplinary undergraduate program is one of the first of its kind in the nation. It distinguishes itself from other degrees in the natural sciences by examining local, regional, and global scales to better understand the dynamics of the Earth's systems (the geosphere, the atmosphere, the ecosphere, the sociosphere) and their interactions. In addition, it emphasizes the dynamic and changing Earth systems and the use of Earth observing and remote sensing and related geoinformation technologies in detecting changes. The Master of Public Administration (MPA) is designed for people who hold or aspire to hold leadership positions in organizations that participate in the development and implementation of public policy. The mission of the MPA program is to give graduate students the opportunity to build their knowledge of politics, public policy and management and to enhance their analytic, problem solving, and communication skills. Highly qualified undergraduates in any major may apply to the accelerated master’s degree in public administration. If accepted, students will be able to earn a bachelor’s degree in their chosen major and a master’s degree in public administration with a reduced number of overall credits and within a reduced time frame, sometimes within five years.
