• Natural Resources program takes a holistic, hands-on approach to prepare students to meet global challenges that face our natural resources. As these global challenges increase, we need natural resource managers and analysts who can combine science, economics, policy, and an understanding of human behavior. Students interested in the environment who prefer a broad background (rather than specialization), will find this program gives them the choice to concentrate their study in a variety of areas of interest.
  • The Natural Resources-Ecosystem Assessment degree focuses on learning how to inventory and describe the characteristics of natural ecosystems and evaluate the impacts of various management practices. Students will learn to identify, measure, inventory, and describe ecosystems, and apply standard evaluation and classification systems such as wildlife habitat evaluation procedures and the federal wetland delineation criteria.
