Program description
Gain your Master of Environmental Economics and Management to meet the urgent worldwide demand for environmentally responsible and sustainable business practises (MEEM).
You will acquire the management practises and research skills needed to balance economic demands with environmental sustainability through the MEEM. Prepare to meet the requirements of international public and private organisations that are actively seeking managers who can create and support business models that balance profit and the environment.
By providing you with a broad understanding of the business environment, advanced management skills, and specialised knowledge in the area, the MEEM prepares you to compete and make significant contributions in the emerging area of environmentally sustainable economics and management in the business sector.
While the MEEM programme is similar to TRU's Master of Science in Environmental Economics and Management (MScEEM), it requires extra MBA programme classes instead of the MScEEM's thesis or project requirements.
