Description

This interdisciplinary program prepares students for careers in conservation and management. Encompassing the natural and social sciences, students will learn how to use the technologically advanced tools and quantitative techniques available to resource planners. Students choose one of two majors at the end of second year: The Science and Management Major focuses on the conservation and management of renewable natural resources, and landscape- and local-level planning for terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The Global Perspectives Major focuses on the conservation and management of renewable and non-renewable resources, policy formation and planning within a global context. International experience is required by this major (i.e., study or/and work abroad).
