Environmental Management and Policy (EMP) is an interdisciplinary BGS that explores the interaction between humans and the environment. This concentration provides a broad-based education. In addition to formal coursework, internships offer students the opportunity to integrate field experiences, laboratory, technical writing and/or computer skills in the investigation of environmental problems. The primary objective of this program is to prepare individuals as environmental technicians and environmental analysts for positions in the private sector or in public service.
*The BGS Concentration in Environmental Management and Policy is also offered in a multimedia format with no in-person classes required for students 25 and older entering with 60 or more previous college credits. See the brochure for details on the multimedia option.
