Applied Science (AS)

Throughout every major policy field, numerous critical issues can be analyzed and resolved effectively only through applied scientific techniques.  The applied science specialization equips students with knowledge and skills that will allow them to probe some of the most vexing issues faced in any of the major policy concentrations offered at SIPA.  Initial curricular offerings in applied science will focus on climate science, ecology, environmental science, and health science.  Students will be required to complete 3 three-credit courses to satisfy the requirements of the Applied Science Specialization.
