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’s program in public policy leads to a degree for aspiring or experienced professionals who seek career advancement through cutting-edge education and training in policy analysis and development in increasingly technical and global environments. The program prepares students to be reflective practitioners who develop, implement, manage, analyze, evaluate, and effect innovative change in the public and private sectors through a course of study that emphasizes the fundamentals of policy development; the role of technology, analytic assessment, and modeling for policy evaluation; and the implications of international and global perspectives on policy formation. Highly qualified undergraduates in major may apply to the accelerated Master of Public Policy (MPP) program. If accepted students will be able to earn a bachelor’s degree in their major and the Master of Public Policy with a reduced number of overall credits and within a reduced time frame, sometimes within five years.
