Course Requirements

Students must complete three core courses, one in each of three core elements of the Environmental Management curriculum: Environmental Policy, Business and the Environment, and Science Application.  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 follow.

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.
