Introduction to the Major
The Environmental Economics and Policy(link is external) (EEP) major offers students the opportunity to explore aspects of economic and political institutions that affect the development and management of natural resources and the environment. The program takes a problem-solving approach to issues involving renewable and fixed natural resources, and it is based on a foundation in micro-economic theory and the economics of resources and the environment.
The EEP major is open for students to declare in the Rausser College of Natural Resources (B.S.). Undergraduates applying for the major program should be strong in mathematics and have an interest in statistics and mathematical modeling.
Structure of the EEP Major
The core requirement for the major is micro-economic theory and econometrics. These core courses are supplemented by other courses that apply the methods of social science to resource problems.
The major supplies training in basic mathematics, statistics and economics to be able to approach resource-related issues in an effective and practical manner.
