The environment track will train students to analyze the interaction between science and technology and the environment. They will mediate between corporations and governments on issues such as environmental regulations in the airline industry and environmental policies in global trade. In the future, we'll see more leaders in these positions solving local and global problems in creative, environmentally sound ways. The program requires students to learn a foreign language and encourages them to study abroad and visit foreign airlines, airports, government agencies, research labs, and high-tech factories. Exchange programs are being developed with universities in other countries.
Students also serve internships with government agencies, policy organizations, and companies.
