UEP Major at Oxy

Welcome to the UEP Major

The Urban and Environmental Policy major is a unique combination of classroom learning and hands-on experience in public affairs and civic action. Students learn the skills of public policy analysis with special emphasis on applying those skills in the real world. Urban and Environmental Policy includes such topics as housing and community development, public health, land use and transportation, poverty and social welfare, food and resource issues, air and water, criminal justice, race and gender relations, class relations, and other topics at the local, national and international levels.
