Professor Fulco recently brought to my attention that the Bard Center for Environmental Policy has a new Masters program in Climate Science and Policy. If you’re not familiar with Bard, it’s in Annandale-on-Hudson, NY (downstate, 100 miles up the river from NYC).
Here’s how they describe their new program:
“Bard’s new program is one of a handful in the country with a rigorous masters curriculum that interweaves climate science, environmental and natural resource economics, and climate law and policy. Bard’s program prepares graduates for careers facing the profound challenges of climate change mitigation and adaptation.
Bard’s program covers all aspects of climate science and policy, but includes a unique focus on the agriculture and ecosystem impacts of climate change. Program faculty manage a 90-acre farm that serves as a research and teaching laboratory, and scientists from the world class Cary Institute for Ecosystem Studies also teach in the program. In their second year, students participate in a 4-6 month extended internship, gaining critical on-the-job experience.”
Seniors: The deadline to apply for the fall is March 15th, so get going on that personal statement!
Bard Center for Environmental Policy gives merit and need-based grants.
