Environmental Law Opportunities at Loyola

Loyola Law initiated two new exciting programs this year - a Master of Environmental Law and a joint J.D./Master of Laws in Environmental Law. Both are designed to offer advanced degrees for students interested in careers focused on environmental law and policy.

There are a wide range of career opportunities within these fields in government, small and large businesses, non-profits, and even creative entrepreneurial options. Some examples include: policy analysis and research, environmental education and advocacy, regulatory and legislative design, environmental project management, technical assistance to government agencies for planning and strategy, regulatory compliance and enforcement, and independent and political consulting, among many others.

Environmental Law is an umbrella for many different areas of expertise – from clean air and water, to land use and urban planning. You can focus your education and future career on your own areas of interest. Loyola alumni may be eligible for scholarships and auto-admission, depending on their undergraduate major and GPA.
