THE ENVIRONMENTAL LAW CENTER
The Environmental Law Center at Vermont Law School has led the nation in environmental law and policy education since our founding in 1978. Our multidisciplinary program is not only the largest; it also consistently ranks among the best. At its heart is a mission to develop environmental leaders who are committed to stewardship of natural systems and adept at working at the intersection of law, policy, science, economics, and ethics.
We offer three master’s degrees: the Master of Environmental Law and Policy, the Master of Energy Regulation and Law, and the Master of Food and Agriculture Law and Policy; LLM degrees in Environmental Law, Energy Law, and Food and Agriculture Law; and joint degrees that allow students to combine a JD degree with any of the master’s or LLM degrees.JD students at other law schools may pursue the master’s degrees by taking a combination of summer and online classes and completing an environmental externship during the summers between their three years of law school.
