Resource Economics and Policy
The Bachelor of Science in Renewable Resource Management is an applied science degree that prepares students for careers in renewable resource management. The B.Sc.(RRM) degree focuses on management of land, biotic, and water resources and provides sufficient technical skills to ensure that graduates are highly employable in the resource sector. As well, students are provided with the broader intellectual context that is the hallmark of superior university-level education.
The B.Sc.(RRM) has two fields of study at the major depth of study: Resource Science and Resource Economics and Policy.
Sustainable use of our land, water and plant resources is increasingly recognized as a key societal goal in the 21st Century. Management of these resources requires a combination of applied science and management skills with an understanding of the broad societal context. Renewable Resource Management provides essential skills in resource management coupled with a broader understanding of the role of management in society. The Resource Economics and Policy field of study involves the development of policies directly relevant to the management of bioresources.
Students transferring into the B.Sc.(RRM) program with 18 or more credit units of transfer credits must obtain an approved schedule of courses from a program advisor prior to registration. Students entering the college with credit for B.Sc.(RRM) courses must complete at least 30 credit units of approved senior courses while registered in the College of Agriculture and Bioresources.
