14 Dual MPA-MSES Concentrations: (Typically 24 credit hours)

Dual students may pursue one of five options to complete their concentration(s).

Option 1: One or more MPA Concentrations plus Additional Credit hours

 

One or more complete MPA Concentration(s), (see MPA Concentration pages for a full listing), plus 9 additional credit hours from the MSES tools and concentration courses in the E-series of O’Neill courses. At least two MSES concentration courses must be focused on science content. MSES concentration courses beyond the minimum of two science-focused courses may include tools/methods courses such as E512 Risk Communication, E518 Vector-based GIS, E529 Applications of GIS, E555 Conservation Planning and E555 coding courses. You may not count MSES core courses (E526, E527, E536, E538 and E552) as part of your MSES concentration credit hour requirements. E-series courses that satisfy MPA concentration requirements (typically in MPA-Energy and Sustainability and Sustainable Development) may double count as MSES concentration courses. Please consult with your concentration advisor(s) regarding your course selections.

 

Option 2: One or more MSES Concentrations plus Additional Credit hours

 

One or more complete MSES Concentration(s) (see MSES Concentration pages for a full listing) plus 9 additional credit hours from MPA concentration courses outside of the E-series of O’Neill courses. You may not use MPA or MSES core courses as part of your concentration credit hour requirements. Please consult with your concentration advisor(s) regarding your course selections.

 

Option 3: Any MPA concentration plus any MSES concentration

 

One MPA Concentration (see MPA Concentration pages for a full listing) plus one MSES Concentration (see MSES Concentration pages for a full listing). You may not use MPA or MSES core courses to count as part of your concentration credit hour requirement. Please consult with your concentration advisor(s) regarding your course selections.

 

Option 4: Any Dual MPA-MSES-Only Concentration

 

There are five concentrations specifically designed for (and only available for) dual MPA-MSES students.

 

Option 5: Specialized Concentration (24 credit hours)

 

In conjunction with a faculty advisor, dual MPA-MSES students may design a specialized concentration. This means a student may select a balance of MPA and MSES concentration courses, typically with at least 3 courses from each side, in order to assemble a specialized concentration design.

 

 

Note: The role of the MSES thesis for MPA-MSES students

 

The MSES thesis fulfills the concentration requirement for the MSES degree. MPA-MSES students must also complete 9 concentration credits (usually 3 courses) from the MPA curriculum, as outlined in Option 2 above).

 

Whereas MSES-only thesis students must meet the 6-credit Economics/Management/Policy MSES requirement, MPA-MSES thesis students do not have such a requirement due to the economics/management/policy content of their MPA-side core.

 

Completion of the MSES thesis fulfills the capstone and experiential requirements for the MPA-MSES dual degree. This does not prevent MSES thesis students from taking a capstone course or undertaking an internship if they wish to do so. However, MSES thesis students who choose to take an internship should consult with an academic advisor.

 

Energy and Climate Change Solutions

(24 credits)

 

The Energy and Climate Change Solutions concentration prepares students to contribute to the areas of climate change and energy through integrated use of science, policy, law, and planning. Contexts encompass governmental, private, and NGO sectors across scales. Courses address climate science, climate-change impacts, energy production, human behavior, analysis, development, and implementation of climate law and policy, and possibilities for natural and engineered solutions.

 

Students may not use MPA or MSES core courses to fulfill concentration requirements.

MPA-MSES Specialized Concentration

(24 credit hours)

 

A student, whose educational and professional goals are not satisfied by O’Neill’s concentrations, may design a Specialized Concentration that best suits his or her needs in consultation with a faculty advisor with final approval required by the relevant faculty program director(s). The student, the student’s advisor, and the appropriate Faculty Program Director must sign a Specialized Concentration Form that specifies the courses that will comprise the customized concentration. This form is available in the Forms section of the Current Student Portal. The completed Specialized Concentration Form must be submitted prior to enrolling in the courses outlined. The concentration must be declared within the first 24 credit hours of the student’s academic program.

Dual MPA-MSES specialized concentrations consist of a minimum of 24 credit hours. Specialized concentrations associated with other dual degrees vary in credit hour requirements. See specific guidelines associated with the respective degree design.

Although no specific guidelines exist for the courses to be included in a Specialized Concentration, students should include a balance of MPA and MSES concentration courses, typically with at least 3 courses from each side. At least two MSES concentration courses must be focused on science content. MSES concentration courses beyond the minimum of two science-focused courses may include tools/methods courses such as E512 Risk Communication, E518 Vector-based GIS, E529 Applications of GIS, E555 Conservation Planning and E555 coding courses. Specialized MPA-MSES concentrations should consist of O’Neill courses unless approved by a faculty advisor(s) and the appropriate Faculty Program Director(s). Students must name their Specialized Concentration. However, these names will not appear on their IU transcript. Instead, after “Major” the words “Specialized Study” will appear.
