International Environmental Policy
- Prepares students for careers as environmental professionals with a wide range of organizations: government agencies, international organizations, nonprofits, consulting firms, and corporations.
- Integrates the MPIA core skills with concepts specific to environmental policy applications.
- Provides general knowledge of environmental policy while developing expertise in a disciplinary field: environmental economics, politics and the environment, business and the environment, and environmental negotiations.
- Provides a competitive advantage compared to other schools in environment or public policy: stronger training in management science, more in-depth knowledge of economically most dynamic, and environmentally most degraded regions in the world, the Pacific Rim, as well as stronger language skills.
International Environmental Policy Intern:
“Indochina Carbon develops/oversees projects in Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia that reduce carbon emissions. I am assisting with their marketing and business development and recently attended a conference on 'Carbon Markets in Asia'. I'm also remote-interning for adaptiveARC, a waste-to-energy company in San Diego. They've developed an innovative new technology which turns municipal solid waste into clean, renewable energy. I'm initiating sales with potential clients throughout Asia and conducting market research for them.“
