Areas of Study
Environmental Policy and Administration
Environmental Policy and Administration provides students with an understanding of the administrative, political and legal challenges confronting government managers who deal with environmental policies. The teaching objectives include knowledge of environmental institutions and policies involved at all levels of government, current trends, needs, and administrative problems.
There is a growing and unprecedented need in government, business, and not-for-profit organizations for individuals with managerial as well as environmental expertise. Students completing all requirements of Environmental Policy and Administration will be well prepared for a variety of positions.
Among the areas of recent and current research of Maxwell School faculty in environmental policy are issues involving: global climate change, transboundary issues, public lands policy, citizenship participation, role of media, environmental risk, environment technology, and weapons clean-up.
The highly acclaimed State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF) is located adjacent to the SU campus. Students in the MPA program with environmental interests often take courses on their campus. Others still complete concurrent degrees with SUNY ESF or earn their Certificate in Environmental Decision Making.
