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.
Job titles and employers for graduates since 2020 include:
Biological Science Technician, National Parks Service
Wetlands Project Manager, Indiana Department of Environmental Management
Conservation Officer, Indiana Department of Natural Resources
Learn about an Environmental Management student who works towards sustainable food through IU Corps and the Campus Farm.

[Music]
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

Study Environmental Management and Environmental Science at O’Neill
Description of the video:
Study Environmental Management & Environmental Science at the O'Neill School!
AUDIO: Light music.
IMAGE: The Indiana University logo and white text that reads “O’NEILL SCHOOL OF PUBLIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS” is shown on a black screen.
AUDIO, SPEAKER 1: Environmental Management is one of those majors that's very unique to O'Neill, and I gravitated toward this major because I was really interested in environmental advocacy, but I wasn't super interested in the nitty-gritty science aspect of it.
AUDIO, SPEAKER 2: My major is Environmental Science, and I chose this major because I've always been fascinated with science my entire life. It is a very heavy science major. There is a lot of chemistry, physics, and biology in that.
AUDIO, SPEAKER 3: I'm majoring in Environmental Management, and I chose that because I really like science. I also really like people. So I really wanted something that would combine those two.
AUDIO, SPEAKER 2: As an Environmental Science student, your classes actually have access to the IU Research and Teaching Preserve. And so you get to go out there to a bunch of acres of protected forest with University Lake, which is an old reservoir.
AUDIO, SPEAKER 1: I would describe Environmental Management as a blend between environmental science and public policy.
AUDIO, SPEAKER 3: So you get that background on how environmental processes like the Greenhouse Effect work, but then you learn how laws and private sector/nonprofit actions interact with those scientific processes.
AUDIO, SPEAKER 1: If you're someone who's interested in helping the environment and doing environmental work, but you're not very interested in doing hard sciences of an Environmental Science degree, then Environmental Management would be a really good option for you.
AUDIO, SPEAKER 3: I just wanted to be involved in these really important environmental issues that we're facing today.
AUDIO: Light music.
