MAJOR IN NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES
For the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences

This curriculum prepares students for careers ranging from managing and protecting natural resources, to teaching and conducting research in the environmental sciences, to providing services related to environmental and natural resource management through business or government agencies. It also prepares students for graduate studies or for advanced professional training. Examples of careers for graduates include environmental consultants; educators; communicators; plant physiologists; researchers; social and environmental impact analysts; resource planners; naturalists; ecologists; biologists; environmentalists; managers of wildlife, parks, forests and rangelands; conservation officers; nature center directors; aquatic ecologists; resource policy analysts; forest economists; watershed managers; soil conservationists; soil scientists; soil test analysts; land use specialists; plant and animal quarantine officers; lobbyists; plant nutrient consultants; and technical sales representatives.
The major in natural resources and environmental sciences has three options: biological science, social science, and soil science.
