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鈥檚 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.

After completing this major students will be able to:

1. Apply the tools of economic analyses to environmental issues.
2. Demonstrate how to apply economic theory to the management of renewable and non-renewable natural resources.
3. Articulate the laws and regulations related to environmental protection, energy use, and management of natural resources.
4. Demonstrate the utilization of quantitative analysis tools.
5. Communicate effectively in a business or professional setting (written and oral).
