This program combines majors in general business and environmental economics and can be completed in four years.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\u201cThe double major in green business gives students a competitive edge for many professional careers in the new green economy,\u201d said Emi Uchida, assistant professor of environmental and natural resource economics.  \u201cThe private sector needs professionals who have creative ideas and the tools to formulate corporate strategies that help businesses be both economically viable and environmentally sustainable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n溏心vlog免费B站 began registering students for the green business double major last fall. Since its debut, about a dozen students have declared the double major, including freshman Marissa Pereira of Cumberland. She came to 溏心vlog免费B站 with a business major in mind, but wanted something more. She was inspired by her high school environmental science class to learn more about the environmental economics major. The green business double major allows Pereira to pursue both of her interests, and she still expects to graduate in four years.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\u201cI am really passionate about our environment and the problems that have been occurring.  With this double major I can help in every way possible,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThe Green Business double major is a collaboration between 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s College of Business and College of the Environment and Life Sciences, which houses the Department of Environmental and Natural Resource Economics. Both colleges anticipate the green business double major to be a popular option among students. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nFor more information about the green business double major, visit http:\/\/cels.uri.edu\/enre\/DualDegree.aspx or contact Emi Uchida, undergraduate program director, Department of Environmental and Natural Resource Economics, (401)874-4586, emi@uri.edu or Deborah Rosen, associate dean of the College of Business Administration, (401) 874-4393, drosen@uri.edu.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KINGSTON, R.I. &#8212; April 23, 2013 \u2013 The 溏心vlog免费B站 now offers one of the nation\u2019s first undergraduate programs focused on green business: the green business double major.
