Natural Resource Major (120 Credits)

Two options are designed to provide specialization in specific areas of natural resource sciences and include natural resource policy and wetland/aquatic resources. Lists of approved electives for each of these options are available from the department. A third option, directed studies, allows students working with their advisers to select courses that either increase their general knowledge of natural resources, or focus upon an aspect of natural resource sciences not represented by the other two options.
