<p>Can anyone give me some insight into some of the top Masters programs in this field? Any and all information you can provide would be extremely helpful!</p>
<p>If it matters, the student interested in applying is a strong applicant with over a 3.7 from a top 40 school in the country. She is double majoring in Economics and Environmental Policy and is interested in continuing her education in the field at the graduate level.</p>
<p>Geographic location is unimportant at this point.</p>
<p>She is trying to gather as much information about the respected programs as she can.</p>
<p>So far, the schools being considered are:
Clemson
UGA
Oregon
Washington
Some of the UCs</p>
<p>She would rather not go to U. of Maryland, if possible.</p>
<p>Thanks so much! Feel free to PM me as well!</p>
<p>I listed some programs reputed to be strong in this area. One of the complicating factors in choosing a program is the diversity of programs that are available. While some economics depts offer a specialty in environmental economics, most programs in environmental & natural resources economics are found in departments of agricultural economics (sometimes, called applied economics or ag & resource economics) in the ag schools at land grant public universities. Other programs in this area are found as a specialty focus in schools of public policy or schools of natural resources/environmental studies (sometimes, natural resources programs are located in ag schools and sometimes, they are freestanding schools). </p>
