Overview

This Environmental Policy and Sustainability concentration at Indiana University Indianapolis leverages the expertise of our faculty and has an above average expected job growth average (11 percent) in the environmental fields between 2014 and 2024. Those projections are based on the heightened interest of the public in hazards caused by the environment and population growth.

Over the past decades, events such as the Flint water crisis or the Deepwater Horizon oil spill have brought environmental protection to the center of attention.

Environmental issues span jurisdictional boundaries. The list of issues is long and includes matters such as air and water protection at or near industrial sites, mercury and lead exposure, environmental justice, urban green space, and climate change.

Learn to:

Assess and analyze environmental issues to make appropriate, theoretically informed policy recommendations to solve those problems
Evaluate barriers to successful environmental policy and generate innovative solutions to improve adoption and implementation of proposed policy
Critically interpret and conduct technical analyses that contribute to the understanding of current environmental issues
Present complex ideas clearly and systematically in verbal, graphical, and written forms
