Listing of University of South Carolina courses available for credit
At least one-third of the course work must be in earth and environmental resources and at least one-third in management, finance, and economics, but no more than 50 percent in either field. Students are required to complete six hours of integrative seminars. Courses exist in business administration for graduate students with non-business backgrounds. Students are required to demonstrate sufficient background in one or more fields, gained by academic study or experience, to qualify for graduate courses in earth or environmental resources.The program requires a total of 36 credit hours which will include six hours of thesis credit for those students who elect a thesis or six hours of approved electives in lieu of a thesis. All Graduate School requirements, such as the number of 700 level courses and grade distributions, must also be met.
