Bachelor of Science [B.S] Natural Resources
Our program offers four concentrations, which are like minors but are within the major field of study rather than in a different major field of study. These concentrations allow NRE students to deepen their educational experience in an area of their interest. NRE students must declare a concentration and adhere to its requirements. Upon graduation, the concentration appears on the transcript as an official recognition of a specialization in that area.
- Environmental Sustainability and Conservation
- Fisheries and Wildlife Conservation
- Sustainable Forest Resources
- Water Resources and Climate
Students in other departments can minor in Wildlife Conservation by completing the required courses.
Careers
