One of the first steps in getting into the international natural resources market is learning the countries, customs, law and economics. A new program, managed by the University of Denver College of Law in collaboration with the Colorado School of Mines, is the first in the nation to provide an essential legal background in international mining, petroleum and environmental law.

Courses, which began this fall, focus on international mining law, international petroleum law, international environmental law, negotiation of natural resources agreements, project economics, taxation, international business transactions and privatization. One of the unique features of the program is the option for students to take a limited number of courses at the Colorado School of Mines such as natural resource economics or environment, or related courses at DU's Graduate School of International Studies or Daniels College of Business. One of the program's best attractions is its proximity to some of the nation's largest natural resources companies. An American hub of international natural resources commerce, Denver is home to such companies as Cyprus Amax Minerals, Newmont Mining, Royal Gold, KN Energy and Echo Bay Mining. In the area of business and economics, CSM faculty and students apply a wide variety of analytical tools to the study of energy, minerals and related environmental issues.
