Master of Science - Natural Resources - Natural Resources Studies

The Natural Resources Studies emphasis is intended to provide an interdisciplinary graduate education for individuals who wish to contribute to natural resource policy and management decisions made in an environment increasingly influenced not only by technical elements, but by economic, legal, political, and social factors. This option is appropriate for students continuing from undergraduate work in natural resource management and for mid-career professionals interested in broadening their expertise in natural resource policy, administration, planning, management, and ecology. Course requirements for the option in Natural Resources Studies are higher than for the other programs. Contact the graduate coordinator for additional information.
