AgEc 695 (Frontiers) is a finishing course for
Ph.D. students and is normally the final course taken in
preparation for writing a field area Preliminary Exam.
The Frontiers in Water Resource Economics segment is one of four
segments supporting the Natural Resource and Environmental
Economics field area. Currently, other segments are instructed by
Drs. McCarl, Shaw, and Woodward.
Two Natural Resource and Environmental Economics segments are
offered each Spring semester. Segments are rotated, so ordinarily
it is possible to participate in all four segments during two
consecutive Springs. However, Ph.D. students are only required to
enroll in AgEc 695 once, and they are not required to participate
in more than two segments. This design is intended to provide Ph.D.
students with improved opportunities to gather a range of
expertise.
