Environmental Policy Concentration
CIPA fellows in the Environmental Policy Concentration analyze and understand the formulation and management of domestic and/or international environmental policy. Students explore the ecological and political origins of current environmental policy issues and learn how to propose resolutions via organizational analysis, budgeting, financial analysis and reporting, probability theory, applied regression analysis and microeconomics.
In addition to the nine foundation courses, CIPA fellows who select the Environmental Policy concentration take a minimum of five courses related to their specific area of focus. The course list below, organized thematically to facilitate course selection, is designed to help fellows develop a particular area of study, but should not limit choices. CIPA fellows may elect to substitute other relevant courses, by petition, with the approval of their advisor.
