DESCRIPTION: "The School of the Environment offers
the MEERM degree which is designed to provide individual curricula
suited for students interested in management positions in earth
resources (minerals, water, sustainable development within ecosystems)
or environmental resources (safe and effective use or remediation
of man-made materials into different ecosystems). The program
also allows students with an interest in earth and environmental
resources to tailor a graduate degree program to their own particular
interests and goals. Recent MEERM students have come from backgrounds
as diverse as accounting, journalism, geology and engineering,
which allows them to learn from each other as well as from the
faculty." The School of the Environment also cooperates with
USC School of Law to allow students to pursue a Law Degree as
a dual degree with the MEERM.
