WWU’s College of the Environments BA degree in Environmental Policy trains students in the policies and practices that make that happen. The program focuses on resource sustainability and environmental resilience, while at the same time querying positionalities and cultural-economic lenses around resource access in diverse populations and landscapes. Over 200 students have received this BA degree, many of whom have attained professional careers in policy management, program implementation, and action planning for positive environmental change.The program focuses on problem solving and implementing shared visions to effect laws and policies that monitor and manage critical environmental problems, such as climate change, polluted landscapes, and food insecurity. Such laws and policies protect diverse, culturally appropriate, health-driven, and economically viable landscapes - in the United States and throughout the world. We are proud to offer this degree to our students and to continue our programs strong community partnerships worldwide, in which students apply their learning to assist communities in organizing for sustainable futures.
