ECON 351 - Environmental Economics and Policy

3 credits
In this course, students will develop and apply an economics toolkit to analyze and address regional, national, and international environmental policy issues such as air and water pollution, climate change,, toxic/hazardous substances, land use, and sustainable development. The course seeks to attract a wide range of students from the natural and social sciences. Previous economics coursework is helpful but not necessary, as the first part of the course focuses on a review of microeconomic theory and key economic principles that will be applied in this course.
