Lehigh University

Program Description

The graduate certificate in Environmental Law & Policy will provide students with comprehensive instruction on how ethics, politics, and science policy influence the natural environment and shape human relationships to it, at local, national and international levels of organization. Through these programs, students will have the unique opportunity to learn how to analyze present law and to address its deficiencies by creating new policy designs. Teaching both the theory and practice of environmental law and policy, the certificate will integrate practical and career oriented expertise in the existing positive law that regulates environmental pollution, planning and land use with consideration of how different policy design paradigms can change current policy to respond to past failures and future expectations. This certificate and its courses can be used toward the new MA in Policy Design (pending for 2007).
