EE: Associated Courses

The following course designations are designed to assist students in developing their own program of courses that incorporates ecological entrepreneurship themes in whatever way and to whatever degree that the meets the goals of the student. Students should consult with their advisors, and/or principal program faculty members (Cline, Cox, Mancinelli, Taylor), to design individual paths of study. (Those courses with links lead to a course description and/or syllabus for that course; course descriptions may also be found in the on-line COA course catalogue.)
