Environmental Policy
Major, Minor
Environmental policy at Union is a multidisciplinary learning experience that draws on courses in the social sciences, humanities, physical sciences and engineering.
You can take advantage of our Australia (Brisbane) and Brazil (São Paulo) terms abroad and a mini-term in New Zealand. Environmental Policy majors who are juniors can also pursue an internship with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYDEC), which offers practical work experience in a variety of aspects of environmental regulation and policy.
