The direct and indirect impacts of environmental concerns on the economy are large and growing. Traditionally, students have received university training in either business or environmental science, but not both. Southeast is pleased to offer a program that recognizes the close relationship between the environment and business. Furthermore, completion of the business area of interest curriculum will qualify students for admission into, and rapid completion of, a M.B.A. degree program.
