Driven to Succeed

Our student affiliates join CEnREP from a variety of departments across NC State and have a broad array of interests. At CEnREP, you’ll find an inviting environment that will challenge you and offer you the opportunity to grow and excel.

Courses and Programs

CEnREP faculty teach a variety of undergraduate and graduate-level economics courses focused on environmental economics, policy, and natural resource management.  Our undergraduate courses count not only for the agribusiness management and economics majors, but also fulfill credits for the general education requirements for all NC State undergraduates. Our graduate courses are integrated into the M.A. and Ph.D. programs in economics, with “environmental economics” being one of the fields that graduate students may focus on in the Economics Ph.D. program.

Below is a list of the courses we teach, as well as information about more educational opportunities throughout the Triangle region. For additional details on CEnREP affiliate courses, including schedules, click on the NC State’s course catalog.

Student Opportunities

CEnREP sponsors a bi-monthly luncheon colloquium in which faculty and students with interests in environmental and resource economics informally present research to receive early feedback on their projects.

Graduate students regularly participate in Camp Resources, an annual conference organized by CEnREP, and attend the Triangle Resource and Environmental Economics (TREE) Seminar Series which CEnREP co-sponsors with Duke, UNC-CH and RTI International to bring in scholars from around the country to present cutting-edge research.

Doctoral candidates engage with CEnREP faculty in current research projects, many of which fund the student’s progress toward their degree or fund the data collection necessary for their dissertation work.
