In this major, students will study how human decisions impact the environment and natural resources, including issues involving land use, water supply, water quality, air quality, agriculture, fisheries, and forestry.

Do they have an interest in environmental and resource management, economic analysis, or weighing the costs and benefits of alternative environmental policies. They will provide them with a solid foundation in resource economics, business, and the environment, topped with a range of data and analytical specialties.
