The Bachelor of Arts in Energy and Sustainability Policy is designed for students with various education and professional experiences. The program course work will cover a variety of topics including the energy industry and the domestic and global impact it has on the environment, and foreign and domestic policy, as well as corporate and community sustainability initiatives.
