Program Description Western’s interdisciplinary Environmental Policy program prepares students to enter professional fields concerned with the sustainability of the human and natural environment. Studies in Environmental Policy concentrate on public policy development, governance, law, and the methods and processes of planning and decision making. By solving problems and implementing shared visions in both natural settings and urban communities, Environmental Policy promotes positive change in the environment. The program consists of core studies and specialization electives. The core incorporates the interdisciplinary foundation of Huxley College’s approach to the study of the environment. The specialization elective component of the program is flexible, and allowing students to develop an area of special interest, concentrate on a minor in an academic discipline, or to select from a number of thematically oriented clusters of courses.
