American Public University
We are a leader in providing affordable, quality online education. Acknowledged by The Sloan Consortium for best practices in online education, we earned our reputation by never forgetting that our students are priority one.
Students interested in environmental policy and analysis as well as environment management including stewardship of natural resources, pollution management, fish and wildlife management, and hazardous materials, will find our degree and certificate programs rewarding and beneficial in preparing for a career in many industries pertaining to our environment.
The purpose of the B.S. in Environmental Studies is to provide students with a scientific understanding of ecological and social systems, which then can be applied in a policy or management context. In the M.S. in Environmental Policy and Management, students will continue their studies of ecological and social systems, but also have the opportunity to focus on several emerging fields of study, including global environmental change, environmental planning, and more.
In our Undergraduate Certificate in Hazardous Waste Management, students will learn the methodologies and tools used in conducting risk assessments, responding to hazardous materials spills, planning for emergency operations, and conducting remediation of hazardous waste sites as well as regulatory requirements for storing, transporting, and reducing the generation of hazardous waste.
