MFRE is a one-year professional masters program that integrates Economics, Business and Policy knowledge to analyze the challenges and opportunities in the Food, Environment, and Natural Resources sectors.

 Understand and interpret your Academic Progress, available through SOLUS. The Academic Progress report is designed to give you advice on what courses you will need to take to complete your degree, as well as warn you if you have broken any of the various rules that govern which courses may be used in a particular degree program.
