Indiana University Indianapolis
AC-3: Undergraduate Program

With a major in Sustainable Management and Policy, you’ll learn how to develop and implement policies that help communities meet the needs of the present without compromising the future. The major is part of the B.S.P.A. degree, which will give you the flexibility of working in the public, private, or nonprofit sector. The major will give you a strong public affairs foundation so that you have a practical understanding of economics, policy analysis, management, and urban policy. In your sustainability classes, you’ll examine the latest environmental topics from all angles and learn from industry experts and scholars.

The Bachelor of Science of Environment Science is an Indiana University degree offered in the Department of Earth Sciences in partnership with the Department of Public Health and the School of Liberal Arts. This program prepares students for graduate studies or a variety of careers in federal and state agencies, industry, and consulting firms. Students choose from one of three concentrations: Earth and Water Resources, Environmental Management, or Environmental Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis

We combine courses from chemistry, mechanical engineering, physics and electrical engineering to create a strong knowledge base essential to success in this industry. Students also have the opportunity to take courses concentrating on critical energy issues such as green building, hybrid and electric transportation, fuel cells and bio fuels, and energy systems such as wind, solar and nuclear. Whether entering the workforce directly or continuing on to further education, graduates of this program will leave equipped to tackle the exciting and meaningful challenges ahead on the energy horizon.

Green jobs are rapidly being created as the economy begins embracing sustainable, energy efficiency, and low-carbon practices. The driving forces behind the development of green jobs are businesses wishing to maintain cutting edge technology, become more energy efficient, while lowering their carbon footprint, or becoming entirely carbon neutral. This certificate is designed to address a growing need for professionals who can contribute to the green global workforce with knowledge in sustainable practices in current technologies. The Sustainable Technologies Certificate will be beneficial to students who want to acquire knowledge in areas of renewable energies, green building, and sustainable design, and who may want to pursue a career in a sustainable technology.

Rapid growth has occurred in the field of geographic information during the last two decades. Stimulated by advances in the collection, storage, and analysis of data, a new discipline has emerged: geographic information science, which involves research both on and with spatial technologies including geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, and the global positioning system (GPS). At the core of geographic information science is the integration of these technologies and their application to problems of spatial analysis. The foundational theory and principles of geographic information science are based in the discipline of geography, but virtually all fields--from engineering to medicine, science, business, social sciences, and humanities--are now embracing geographic information science in both theoretical and applied research.
