The mission of the Cultural and Environmental Resource Management (CERM) Program is to professionally prepare students for ethical decision-making and earth stewardship through management, policy development, critical analysis, and evaluation. Since 1983 the CERM Program has offered students an interdisciplinary cultural and natural resource management curriculum drawing primarily from Geography, Anthropology and Economics, as well as electives from related disciplines such as Biology, Geology, History, and Sociology. Cultural resource management focuses on the management of ethnographic and archaeological sites and materials, historic properties, and archives. Natural resource management focuses on the management of land, water, energy, mineral, atmospheric, and biotic resources. Natural and cultural resources intertwine in several ways within socio-political and cultural contexts. Understanding the multiplicity of resource issues is critically important to making sound decisions at all levels.
