Re: Schools offering joint environmental science/policy degree -- Is anyone compiling this? YES!

[Kate O'Neill]

Let me add ours to the list: the Department of Environmental Science,  
Policy and Management - we're not exactly an MS program, however (our  
MS is basically the first two years of PhD work, which is very  
different from the needs and expectations of a lot of students  
wanting to do an environmental science/policy degree; but it works as  
a joint degree with something else, and can be a fall-back option for  
a student who decides they want out of the PhD track). It's a pretty  
good PhD program, however!


 See: http://espm.berkeley.edu/gradprograms/index.php

So, of the 30-40 students we admit each year, all but a handful are  
on the PhD track. Some take our professional MS programs in range  
management and forestry. But I believe this is an unusually high  
proportion compared to Yale's School of Forestry & Natural Resources,  
or Duke's Nicholas School (Ben or Erika may correct me here).


To address Raul's question briefly (and speaking as someone with a  
political science degree who was hired into this interdisciplinary  
program): actually, I think such PhDs are very highly valued, but not  
always in the expected places. Though placing a student in a  
straightforward disciplinary department requires a lot more advance  
planning, at least in the social sciences; from taking the right  
courses, to having members of poli sci, geography or sociology depts  
on committees, to attending the right conferences and publishing in  
the right journals, we can do it. But actually, there are many more  
academic jobs out there now that do want someone with  
interdisciplinary training, and value that component more than, say,  
a trad IR department. Also, we have a good track record of preparing  
students for, and placing them in, non-academic jobs, which, given  
the state of the market right now, is a very good thing; again, as  
interdisciplinary departments tend to have more of an emphasis on  
applied research, there is perhaps more of a fit with the non- 
academic world. Of course, I'm making generalizations, but if  
someone's life goal is a tenured position in an Ivy League poli sci  
department, I'd advise them to get a political science degree.  
Otherwise, I'd suggest going for what you're interested in, and  
planning for a variety of contingencies. I, by the way, had zero  
success in even getting an interview ten years ago wtih a political  
science dept unless the job was specifically for Global Environmental  
Politics, even with a poli sci degree from a pretty decent  
university. And I wouldn't have gotten this job without an  
interdisciplinary-type post doc.


But this is all part of a larger debate...

actually value holders of interdisciplinary PhDs?


I have the feeling (as the holder of one of such interdisciplinary  
PhDs) that while many universities, schools and departments market  
themselves as valuing and embracing interdisciplinarity, if it came  
down to it, most political science departments would want to hire  
someone with a PhD in political science (just giving an example of  
one of the myriad of disciplines in the social sciences) instead of  
someone with an interdisciplinary degree, even if the teaching and  
research agendas involved interdisciplinary work.


Thoughts?

Hi Michele, 

Rest assured, I am compiling all of this. As the poster of the message,
it is my solemn duty to make sure I don't leave behind an email mess.
Think what Michael Maniates would say if I did. 

It is actually heartwarming to find out there are so many excellent
schools & programs out there. I knew of some of them, but not all.

Dear all,

At Michigan State, we have the Doctoral Specialization in Environmental
Science and Policy.  Students in the specialization come from a wide
range of disciplines in the humanities, social and natural sciences.  
They all take a core of four courses in the specialization. Although
there is no official specialization for Masters students, students in
all affiliated departments can take the core courses as well I believe.

More information is available at
http://environment.msu.edu/specialization/index.html

The University of Michigan has excellent Masters and PhD programs in its

I would second this. Our school's approach, including admissions 
requirements, are based on students enhancing their knowledge of 
physical and biological sciences, as well as a strong emphasis on 
policy and governance (from perspectives of political science, 
economics, law, anthropology, sociology and so son).

I already replied to Ken off-line regarding Duke's Masters in

However, I do recall that we had a similar discussion some time back

RE: Schools offering joint environmental science/policy degree

[Leeuwen, Judith van]

If your student is interested in studying in the Netherlands, then I
recommend her to visit www.studyenvironmentalgovernance.org. This
website shows the possibilities of studying environmental governance in
various programs of Wageningen University. Given her interest, I
especially recommend the MSc Environmental Sciences, which has a
specialization in Environmental Policy (www.mes.wur.nl). Since this
program gives a lot of freedom for students to chose their own courses
she can develop her own program in which she combines environmental
sciences with courses in environmental policy (see www.enp.wur.nl for a
list of environmental policy courses she can choose from). If she is
interested, she can contact me directly for more information.

Please consider asking your student to consult our website. Our degree
is MEEP -- master of energy & environmental policy. There is a
science/engineering requirement. Approximately 40 percent of admitted
students have prior degrees in a science or engineering discipline.

Hi Ken.
The International Environmental Policy Program (IEP) at the Monterey Institute of International Studies combines a strong science core, especially in conservation biology, with economics and energy modeling in the service of policy design and implementation. Your student can check it out on

Northern Arizona University's Center for Sustainable Environments offers an MS in Environmental Sciences and Policy.  There's a great balance between the environmental sciences and political applications.  There are also  opportunities for external financial support -- both the Doris Duke and Wyss foundations fund grad students in the program.

Nature, Society and Environmental Policy

http://www.geog.ox.ac.uk/graduate/msc-nsep/ 

 

Biodiversity, Conservation and Management

http://www.geog.ox.ac.uk/graduate/msc-bcm/ 

 

Water, Science and Policy Management

Hi Ken! 

The School of International Service's Global Environmental Policy degree 
requires several science courses and students are also more than welcome to 
take additional science electives. See www.american.edu/sis/gep .

At Boston University, I oversee the MA program in International Relations 
and Environmental Policy. This three semester program, which is run jointly 
by the Department of International Relations and the Department of 
Geography and Environment/Center for Energy and Environmental Studies, 
combines quantitative and qualitative approaches to the study of 
environmental issues:

Re: Schools offering joint environmental science/policy degree

[Marc Levy]

Here at Columbia there are two masters programs that accomplish this.

MPA in Environmental Science and Policy
(http://www.columbia.edu/cu/mpaenvironment/pages/news_prof5.html).

MA in Climate and Society
(http://www.columbia.edu/cu/climatesociety/research.html).

Both are 12-month programs.
