The Kennedy School trains students to assess challenging problems involving
the environment and natural resources, to design and evaluate policy responses,
and to shape strategies for bringing about change.
To provide students with the skills to affect environmental policy, the
School offers a variety of courses on environmental and natural resource
topics aimed at both masters and doctoral students. See the table
below for a sampling of courses with significant environmental content.
The underlying theme of the curriculum is to expose students to a range
of disciplinary perspectives, including science, economics, politics,
management, and law, within the context of environment, energy, and natural
resource policy. Both masters
and doctoral degrees are available.
The following table lists current Kennedy School courses with significant
environmental content. Course numbers that begin with the letters ENR denote courses that are part of the Kennedy School's core
environmental curriculum.
