Environmental Policy

The Bard Center for Environmental Policy (BCEP) offers one- and two-year programs leading to a master of science degree or a professional certificate. This innovative science-based program prepares graduates to enter government, business, or nonprofit organizations as skilled mediators between the world of science and the political, legal, economic, and cultural processes that shape environmental policy. (See Graduate Programs for further details.) This professional program is designed to provide a broad background in natural sciences, social sciences, and decision-making and communication skills. The Center offers qualified Bard undergraduates a 3-2 option that allows them to proceed directly from three years of undergraduate study at Bard to the two-year master’s degree program. The BCEP graduate program includes a full-time professional internship designed to facilitate entry into the job market. Graduates of the 3-2 program receive both the B.A. and M.S. degrees. BCEP also offers dual degree options with Pace University Law School (M.S. and J.D.) and the Master of Arts in Teaching Program at Bard College (M.S. and M.A.T.), as well as a Master’s International (M.I.) program with the Peace Corps. Interested students should consult with program advisers and the BCEP assistant director for graduate admissions and student affairs.
