Welcome to Environmental Sciences, Policy and Management (ESPM) at the University of Minnesota!

As the University's premier environment major, our goal is to train the next generation of environmental professionals and leaders through a strong focus on interdisciplinary knowledge, research, and enrichment experiences. ESPM students gain a broad perspective of environmental issues through coursework in the basic and applied sciences, environmental policy, management, business, communication, and law before choosing one of five tracks to focus their studies around:

• Conservation and Resource Management
• Corporate Environmental Management
• Environmental Education and Communication
• Environmental Science
• Policy, Planning, Law and Society

Our world is facing many complex environmental challenges, and possible solutions will require the creativity and energy of forward-thinking people. Join our ESPM community and prepare for careers where you can make a difference that will affect our collective future!
