Better Your World by Making LAEP Your Home

If you’re interested in the environment and sustainability and want to make positive changes in the world and your local community, consider making LAEP your home, and pursuing the Environmental Planning undergraduate degree. Use science and creativity to solve problems and implement policy that protects plant, animal, and human life. Learn to understand environmental systems and how to implement policy to mitigate human demands on them.

Nationally, demand for environmental planners will increase 7-11% in the next ten years. Your interests can drive your career. As Professor Daniella Hirschfeld described, “Environmental planning is a fascinating interdisciplinary field of study that brings together natural resources, social sciences, and policy. Students can select areas of focus ranging from water management to urban designs and build an important set of job ready skills.

Within the department, you’ll take a variety of courses to prepare for the profession, and you’ll learn why current students describe LAEP as a “fun environment where people feel accepted and can grow in a healthy way” with “helpful and encouraging faculty.”
