环境与自然资源经济学专业为学生准备了运用经济手段评估自然资源的分配和利用以及自然环境管理的方法。经济分析为指导直接和间接影响我们的环境的社会选择提供了强大的基础。经济理论为理解环境和自然资源问题，预测政府政策和法规的可能影响以及为紧迫的经济和环境问题制定解决方案提供了框架。该专业与其他针对自然资源管理的研究计划不同，它侧重于权衡我们从本地到全球范围内做出的选择对私人和公共的影响。为了扩大他们的技术培训，环境和自然资源经济学专业的学生可以同时完成自然资源管理的第二专业，或者通过华纳自然资源学院提供的其他更专
The Major in Environmental and Natural Resource Economics prepares students to apply economic tools to evaluate the allocation and utilization of natural resources and the management of the natural environment. Economic analysis provides a strong basis to guide societal choices that directly and indirectly affect our environment. Economic theory provides a framework for understanding both environmental and natural resource issues, predicting the likely effects of government policies and regulations, and devising solutions to pressing economic and environmental problems.<br><br>This major differentiates from other programs of study that address natural resource management in that it focuses on weighing the private and public implications of choices that we make ranging from a local through a global scale. To broaden their technical training, students majoring in Environmental and Natural Resource Economics can simultaneously complete a second major in Natural Resource Management, or other more specialized majors offered through the Warner College of Natural Resources.
