Harnessing Economics to Advance Sustainability
The environmental economics and policy (EEP) undergraduate degree program will empower you
to draw on strong economic and data analysis skills to promote environmental and natural resource
stewardship. Environmental problems and misuse of natural resources are caused by human behavior,
and thus must be solved by changing behavior. While providing flexibility to incorporate interests in
biological, physical, or social sciences, the EEP major will help you become an expert at identifying
solutions to pollution, deforestation, overfishing, and sustainable growth.
