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.
