UNC's MPA program is partnering with the Curriculum in Environment and Ecology to offer a dual bachelor's-master's degree program. Specifically, a BA in environmental studies or a BS in environmental science is offered in dual with UNC's MPA program. The MPA requirements ensure mastery of core public management knowledge and techniques, while the environmental curricula explores the environment and its relationship to society, as well as the applications of that knowledge in energy, the built environment, water resources, risk analysis, and conservation/restoration ecology. Together, these programs equip graduates to pursue a career in environmental-related public administration.
