our program

Todays environmental problems require the skills


and insights of many people, including scientists,
engineers, regulators, policy analysts, lay citizens,
industry, and environmental groups. The Michigan
Tech graduate programs in environmental and energy
policy give students skills in social sciences, policy
analysis, collaboration with a wide variety of groups,
and understanding of socioeconomic and environmental
systems. Graduates of this program become
environmental policy specialists within government
agencies, consulting firms, corporations, and private nongovernmental organizations. Others have gone on to PhD
and law degree programs at other top universities, and
several have become university faculty members.

Michigan Techs program is small and focused, which


allows us to be flexible and to work intensively with each
graduate student. Current research includes the policy
dimensions of several topics, including energy policy;
water resources management in the US and Mexico;
socioeconomic aspects of biofuels development in the
US, Sweden, and China; impact of mining on ecological
systems; development and testing of sustainability
indices; and the history of the management of nitrogen
resources and pollution. Many faculty members are
also working on solutions to climate change, analysis
of the effectiveness of pollution reduction policies, and
community-based risk perceptions.

The environmental policy program at Michigan Tech


offers an innovative approach to environmental
management through collaboration of social sciences,
economics, ecology, engineering, and forest resources
faculty. It is distinctive in its training in citizen
participation and its interdisciplinary emphasis. The PhD
program expands upon the masters-level curriculum
and uniquely combines interdisciplinarity in support
of the national and international goal of sustainable
development, with a strong focus on energy, as well
as environmental policy problem solving. The doctoral
program trains students to use the tools and approaches
of multiple disciplines to solve research problems
involving an integrated assessment of environmental and
energy-related policy choices.
