Sustainability, Ecology and Policy Program

https://www.uvm.edu/rsenr/sustainability-ecology-policy

The Sustainability, Ecology and Policy Curriculum combines course work from disciplines inside and outside The Rubenstein School to produce an individualized major focused on an ecological theme or the human-environment relationship. Students concentrate in Applied Ecology, Environmental Policy, Planning and Law, or Integrated Natural Resources. They take foundational courses in natural or social sciences and then tap into upper-level and field-based courses to focus in areas such as aquatic ecology; terrestrial ecology; environmental policy, economics and law; community-based resource planning; environmental education; sustainability and resource management; and energy and environmental systems. Most students incorporate internship, research, and/or study abroad experiences into their academic program. Graduates are competitive for positions in the environmental field in a range of settings. They also are prepared to pursue graduate studies in environment and natural resources including advanced study in the natural sciences, in law, urban, regional and community planning, public administration, and sustainability sciences.
