About Environmental Science and Policy
The Department of Environmental Science & Policy is an interdisciplinary research and teaching department that emphasizes the integration of sound science into environmental policy development and analysis. Our students take classes in the natural and physical sciences as well as areas of public policy, environmental, law, ethics, and economics. Accordingly, the department draws faculty from diverse educational backgrounds, including Biology, Ecology, Geology, Geography, Engineering, Public Administration, Political Science, Law, Philosophy, Public Health, and related disciplines. Through a commitment to quality interdisciplinary teaching, combined with research and internship opportunities, the department is dedicated to ensuring that students are well prepared for environmental careers in the private and public sectors and for graduate studies at USF and elsewhere.
