About this Programme

As climate and environmental issues become a more pressing concern in our society, students need to prepare themselves to face such challenges. The minor in Environmental and Natural Resource Management (ENRM) is designed to produce graduates with a fundamental understanding of environmental processes and the means to manage natural resources. Many disciplines overlap with ENRM (agriculture, geography, biology, environmental science, economics, tourism, political science, and business) and as the global market demands more diverse individuals with an understanding of our natural environment, this minor will perfectly compliment your major. Graduates will gain experience in Ecology, Environmental Economics, Soil and Land Evaluation, Sustainable Watershed and Environmental Law.
