Environmental Economics and Management BSES



Overview

The Environmental Economics and Management (EEM) major prepares students for public and private careers in natural and environmental resource analysis and management. EEM majors are taught to understand and appreciate the monetary and tangible aspects of both resource and environmental issues, including social, ecological, physical, and legal considerations. EEM majors can serve effectively as members of interdisciplinary teams involved in resource and environmental management, planning, and analysis. The EEM major is designed for individuals who desire “making a positive difference” in the world when it comes to wise, efficient, and productive management of natural and environmental resources.
