Environment, Resources, and Population

Advisors: Lawrence Goulder, Mark Granovetter, Frank Wolak, Tom Heller, Michael Wara, Jim Sweeney

The concentration in Environment, Resources, and Population allows students to pursue an understanding of policy with regard to natural resources. Classes concentrate on government policy at different levels, corporate policies, and environmentalist views of corporate and government policy. These diverse viewpoints allow students to develop a 360 degree view of the issues.

Students may also want to review courses listed in the graduate Environmental and Energy Policy Concentration.
