Study the environment—with a background in policy and law
Bolster your passion for the environment with a background in policy and law. By majoring in Environmental Management, you’ll learn to translate between the hard sciences and the policies and practices that governments, organizations, and businesses implement. Part of the Bachelor of Science in Public Affairs, you’ll be well grounded in environmental science topics while also studying management, risk assessment, environmental law, policy, and government finance. You’ll also have opportunities to witness how natural areas are managed in South Africa, research coral reefs in the Caribbean, or study abroad for a semester in the Netherlands.
Some of the jobs our recent grads have landed include:
Analyst, U.S. Government Accountability Office, Washington, D.C.
Community and Economic Development Specialist, Kentuckiana Regional Planning and Development Agency, Louisville

00:13
my name is Adam deer Singh I'm a second
00:17
year student at IU's studying
00:18
environmental management through IU
00:20
Corps I work with the farm and garden to
00:22
help organize volunteers and lead those
00:25
work days well the campus farm really
00:27
gives back by embedding itself in part
00:30
as part of the community so allowing
00:33
students to to come and get their hands
00:35
dirty and work within their food system
00:38
but also we donate a lot of the food
00:40
that we produce to local food banks I
00:42
think that that feels really important
00:43
because I know that we're not only
00:45
producing food for people that need it
00:47
the most but we're producing food in a
00:48
way that is really ethical and
00:50
sustainable and that in the end it's
00:52
really healthy so it feels especially
00:54
good knowing that we're doing good work
00:56
for our community but also good work for
00:57
our earth so I think any student that
01:00
volunteers through I you Corps at the
01:01
campus farm will find that educating
01:04
themselves on the food system and
01:05
becoming a part of that system is a
01:07
really challenging but rewarding
01:09
experience and that learning about where
01:12
your food comes from and even the food
01:14
that students will be eating on IU's
01:16
campus can be a great opportunity
