Students enrolled in this program have the opportunity to explore the interdisciplinary nature of environmental problems and links between natural resource and economic development issues. It features courses in economics, business, mathematics, computer science and applied science. The objective of this major is to provide students with the necessary training for the application of economic theory and analysis to environmental and natural resource issues. The flexibility of this major allows students to design (with their advisor) a program of study which focuses on environmental and natural resource issues tailored to the student’s own interests (such as water use and quality, soil protection, waste management, ecosystem management, and land use). The curriculum reflects the breadth of training required to prepare students for careers in private and government sectors dealing with environmental and natural resource management and policy analysis. Students with this major can expect to find employment with state and federal government agencies or with private industry in environmental policy analysis and management of natural resources. Many students, upon completion of this degree, may find it desirable to obtain a graduate degree to expand their career opportunities. Students completing this degree will be prepared for graduate study in environmental and natural resource economics and policy. Major Learning Goals Students who complete this major should be able to: Demonstrate an understanding of how to apply economic theory and quantitative analysis to environmental and natural resource problems and policies. Understand how to apply the tools of economics (such as benefit-cost analysis and environmental impact analysis) to specific environmental issues such as cap and trade or emission fees; land conservation, environmental degradation and water quality. Think logically and creatively about how economics and economic policies apply to: (a) the management of non-renewable natural resources (such as optimal depletion); and (b) renewable natural resources (such as forestry and fishery economics) Carefully explain laws and regulation to promote environmental protection, land conservation and agriculture. Apply GIS and similar computer software to better visualize and solve natural resource management problems. Write clearly and logically in business and professional settings.
