¿Qué aprenderé?

This major focuses on how to protect natural resources such as tropical rain forests, safe drinking water, clean air, biodiversity, sustainable fisheries, endangered species, and other natural assets while also living sustainably. This major prepares you for many different kinds of professional careers in the new “green” economy as well as graduate studies.

As a major in environmental and natural resource economics, you will acquire tools that can help answer these questions. The environmental and natural resource economics major integrates the natural sciences with economics to help us understand why many of earth’s natural resources are under threat and how we can design policies to address these threats. This major teaches students to weigh options and make important decisions concerning the protection, restoration, development, and use of our natural resources. The major prepares students for graduate school or for careers in the public and private sector that address environmental and natural resource management, business, or public policy. Professionals in these fields play an important role in coordinating interdisciplinary teams to address such complex problems. Graduates gain an understanding of both natural sciences and the economy.

The degree requires a minimum of 120 credits, including 24 credits in concentration. In addition to satisfying the general education requirements, students need nine credits in introductory professional courses, including natural resource conservation (NRS 100), introduction to resource economics (EEC 105), and environmental economics and policy (EEC 205). The major also requires a minimum of three credits in written communication skills (WRT) at the 200 level or higher.
