The College of Natural Resources offers two different graduate degrees:

Master of Science (MS) in Natural Resources:

This is a thesis-based program leading to the MS degree with an emphasis in one of the following areas: forestry, wildlife, fisheries, water resources, environmental education/interpretation, soil science or waste management. This degree will prepare you for a research or management career, or for further study leading to a PhD.

Master of Natural Resources (MNR):

This is a non-thesis program offered completely online. The MNR is for advanced practitioners in natural resource management (and related fields) who are seeking a terminal degree to develop research, leadership, administrative, and communication skills. The degree is intended to assist participants in pursuing management roles within their current organizations and to enhance their professional abilities for promotion consideration. This degree will prepare you for a career in natural resources management.

Post Baccalaureate Concentration in Environmental Studies (for teacher licensure)

If you are a teacher with a license in secondary science you may receive licensure in environmental studies after completion of this concentration. Additional requirements include completion of Praxis II, Professional Development Portfolio, and student teaching at the appropriate developmental range and certification area.
