Environmental and Resource Economics Option (373B) Checklist

  • Please use the following checklist as a reference and planning guide for your course plan, but always use Degree Navigator to ensure all requirements are checked off. This checklist is not maintained as frequently as Degree Navigator, so always rely on Degree Navigator as the most accurate source.
  • The number in brackets (e.g., [3]) after a course title indicates the number of credits, if there is also a code in the brackets (e.g., [3, WCd]), it means it is a core course with the specific core code. A core course can fulfill both your Environmental and Business Economics (EBE) major requirements and the SEBS core requirements.
  • The prerequisites provided here are for your reference only and will not be actively updated if changes occur. You should always use WebReg and the Schedule of Classes to see the most up to date prerequisite information.
  • To see sample syllabus and more information about EBE courses, please see the EBE Course List and Syllabi page.
