Meet the urgent global need for environmentally responsible and sustainable business practices by gaining your Master in Environmental Economics and Management (MEEM).
With the MEEM, you will learn the management practices and research skills required to balance economic demands with environmental sustainability. Prepare yourself to meet the needs of international public and private organizations actively seeking out managers who can build and support business models that balance planet with profit.
The MEEM prepares you to compete and make major contributions in the emerging area of environmentally sustainable economics and management in the business sector by providing you a broad understanding of the business environment, advanced management skills and specialized knowledge in the area.
Note: While similar to TRU’s Master of Science in Environmental Economics and Management (MScEEM), the MEEM program requires additional MBA program courses instead of the thesis or project requirements of the MScEEM.

About this course
The economic sustainable management sector is set for considerable growth and prolific job opportunities. The MEEM will help you stand out to employers and land a job in the green market where you can be part of the preservation and restoration of environmental quality worldwide.
Upon graduation, you will be prepared to:
Analyze and synthesize local, regional and global environmental, natural resource and economic development problems.
Appraise the role of ethics and social responsibility in business organizations.
Demonstrate leadership skills to meet fundamental challenges of moving to a sustainable economic path.
Develop public policies relating to the regulation of the environment and sustainability.
Employ positive and normative economics for the study of sustainable management.
Formulate multiple and alternative solutions to problems effectively using analytical tools, individually and as a team player.
Illustrate that knowledge can be uncertain, ambiguous and limited, and how these limitations might influence results and interpretation of environmental problems and solutions.
Prepare and effectively communicate scholarly work, opinions and analysis, both oral and written.
Studies increasingly show that business sectors believe environmental and social issues have implications for capital investments, corporate strategy, brand and reputation building. This belief is resulting in increased corporate focus on sustainability including sustainable business, corporate environmental and social responsibility, ethics and initiatives to make lasting and effective changes that support social and environmental stability.
An acceptable three or four-year undergraduate degree in any discipline with a minimum B average (3.0 GPA) in the last 60 credits.
