Course Requirements
Students must complete three core courses, one in each of three core elements of the Environmental Management curriculum: Policy, Business, and Role of Scientific Information in Environmental Decisions. A menu of courses is selected to provide students a fundamental background in the environmental decision-making process from these three perspectives. The courses satisfying the requirements in the three core areas are:
| Policy |
- Environmental Policy Processes (ENVIR 501/PBAF590) *
- Resource Policy and Administration (CFR 571/PBAF 592)
- Public Policy Processes (POLS 575)
|
Business |
- Business Strategy and the Natural Environment (ENVIR 502/ MGMT 579) *
- Sustainable Business Practice (MGMT 490)
- Cases in Sustainability (MRKT 597)
|
Role of Scientific Information in Environmental Decisions |
- Role of Scientific Information in Environmental Decisions, (ENVIR 503/PBAF 597) *
- Sustainability and Design for the Environment (ME 415/ENVIR 415/CEE 495)
- Risk Assessment (ENVH 577)
|
*These courses are highly recommended for fulfilling the core requirement of each area. |
To keep curriculum timely, and depending on availability of faculty, specific courses that fulfill each of the core requirements may change from year to year. Although students may complete the three core courses over one or more academic years, the specific courses to fulfill the requirement may change in subsequent years. Students must complete at least one core course prior to enrolling in the Keystone Project Course and the remaining core courses must be taken concurrently with the Keystone project.
Students must also complete a two-quarter long interdisciplinary team-based Keystone Project, which is conducted through the Keystone Project course sequence ENVIR 511, 512.
