MPA-ESP is housed in SIPA and designed by the Earth Institute, trains sophisticated public managers and policymakers who apply innovative, systems-based thinking to environmental issues.The program challenges students to think systemically and act pragmatically. The program supplies the need for earth systems problem solvers, individuals who are prepared for leadership positions in local, state and federal government agencies, as well as in nonprofit organizations and the environmental divisions of private corporations.
