Current/Former Environmental & Economics Policy Majors

<p>For those CCer's who are here as alumni or current students and are/have taken Environmental & Economic Policy courses or have major/minored in it please help!</p>

<p>1: I am planning to minor in EEP and am interested in what courses are most interesting to take
2: Additionally, I am looking to take courses that do not heavily emphasize MATH. I am a Political Science major and don't want to lose focus (or time) on an incredibly difficult minor course.
3: Any other suggestions regarding the major or minor would be helpful.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance :)</p>

<p>I am determined not to let this thread die. I NEED HELP.
Thanks :)</p>

<p>Haha, I got accepted as EEP but still not sure if I’m going to attend Cal. Where are all the other EEP majors at? I remember there was a thread about “unusual majors” and EEP was pretty heavily represented.</p>

<p>Midnightgolfer- Accepted as EEP? Nice. Do you know what the prerequisites include? I have looked on assist but I am unsure about whether or not those are necessary (Calc1 & Calc2) for a minor. I have taken Microecon and Statistics, I would prefer to take the courses that focus on the policy aspect of the subject rather than the mathematical aspect.
Thanks for the info about the thread, I’ll look it up!</p>

<p>@midnight, if you dont want to go to Cal, i want your spot! i applied as an EEP major but didnt get in, so im in the midst of the appeal process…</p>

<p>I’m actually also planning to minor (or maybe even double major?) in EEP, and I was wondering exactly the same thing: do we need a lot of math for that minor or not. I’ve taken calc 1 and for now I’m not planning to take anymore math</p>

<p>ksForBerkeley- Since your planning to minor in EEP, what is your major?</p>

8

<p>my major is political economy. instead of picking a concentration, i want to minor in eep. As far as I know, students are allowed to do that</p>

9

<p>i know calc I & II are pre-reqs for EEP major, but im not sure about the minor. maybe you can get away with taking the classes you’d need for the minor that aren’t as math intensive?</p>

<p>I also want to minor in EEP, my current major is business admin.</p>

<p>However, it is stated, “Please note that only 1 upper-division course can be counted toward the requirements for both your major and this minor.” </p>

<p>So I am reconsidering it since I was hoping that the EEP courses I would be taking for the minor would also count towards the 18 upper-division non-business courses I need for my business admin degree :/</p>

<p>@ollie, It’s going to take awhile for me to actually decide if I want to attend or not. </p>

<p>One of my friends from UCSC applied as EEP as well and he’s been waiting for me to decline. He called CNR to ask them what actually happens if an admitted student declines (we were curious). The advisor said that there are no “spots” and they accept people knowing that there’s a certain amount that will not attend. Even if people appeal, CNR won’t look at the amount declined to see if they can accommodate you. Also apparently this year there was a LOT of EEP applicants and they did not bother to increase the class size (she said ~50-70 admitted). </p>

<p>Highly doubt an appeal will do you any luck, maybe if you have a 3.8+ and you left something very important out of your application. I think she nailed it when she said “this year there were too many applicants applying with pure econ/accounting backgrounds. They would have had better luck applying as Econ at L&S.”</p>

<p>oh wow, didnt know all of that. thanks for the insight midnight!</p>

13

<p>hey midnight. is that status update anthony put up 1 week ago about ‘someone declining’ your admission as EEP? if so… LOL. i dont get why you guys applied eep as a transfer. college of natural resources is a really small college, they dont let many people in. best thing to do is get in letters and sciences easy and then try to minor/major at cnr. </p>

<p>do you know if anthony is appealing? i thought he got a 4.0 last year?</p>

14

<p>Wow, I am glad this thread is still here!
NOT GOING TO LET IT DIE.
Is anyone here who is applying for EEP as a minor going to the June10th CalSo?</p>

15

<p>Ok, so I received some info from the EEP adviser but I am unsure as to how I am supposed to paste the document here for other people…if anyone can help me out, I can help you out!</p>

16

<p>If it’s a document, you can just copy and paste the words here. If you don’t want to do that, maybe upload it as a Google Document and then paste the link for it.</p>

<p>ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICS AND POLICY
MINOR PROGRAM</p>

<p>The Environmental Economics and Policy minor program is open to any UC Berkeley student in good academic standing. There is no application procedure necessary; however, students are encouraged to declare their intention to minor. Please come to the Student Services Office, 203 Giannini Hall, for advising. Requirements for completing the minor program are listed below.</p>

<p>A minimum of six courses are required:</p>

<p>Lower Division</p>

<p>One course in principles of micro-economics (EEP 1, ECON 1, ECON 2 or ECON 3) or an AP score of 4 in economics</p>

<p>Upper Division*</p>

<p>EEP 100 (or ECON 100A or 101A) - Intermediate Microeconomics</p>

<p>EEP C101 (cross-listed as ECON C125) - Environmental Economics</p>

<p>EEP C102 (cross-listed as ECON C102) - Natural Resource Economics</p>

<p>One course in quantitative methods from the following list (note that some are cross-listed courses): </p>

<p>EEP C115/ESPM C104, EEP C118/IAS C118, ECON C110/PEIS C135/POL SCI C135, ECON 140, ECON 141, ECON C142/POL SCI C131A/PUB POL C142, ENE,RES C130/EPS C120, ESPM 102B, ESPM 102C, ESPM 183, POL SCI 132A, PUB HLTH 140, PUB HLTH 142A, PUB HLTH 142B, STAT 131A</p>

<p>All courses must be taken for a letter grade, and a minimum grade point average of 2.0 must be obtained in the courses taken for the minor.</p>

<p>Please note that only 1 upper-division course can be counted toward the requirements for both your major and this minor.</p>

<p>Students who believe they have completed the requirements for the minor should apply for departmental certification by the semester in which they intend to graduate. (See Gail Vawter, Student Services Office, 203 Giannini Hall.)</p>

<p>*Two semesters of calculus (MATH 1A-B or 16A-B or the equivalent) are required as a prerequisite to upper division EEP courses.</p>

<p>@airjordan, I didn’t even see your post, lol. Yeah, his status update was his attempt for me to decline. After he found out how EEP basically never accept appeals, he didn’t even want to waste his time. I think he already SIR’d for Davis because UCLA isn’t giving him as much aid.</p>
