Ringkasan program

This program is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed for a career in the rapidly growing fields of environmental science and policy. It provides students with exposure to a broad array of key disciplines involved with natural resources. As a result, graduates have the capacity to integrate different perspectives and diverse bodies of knowledge in dealing with real resource management problems. Graduates of the Natural Resources and Environmental Science degree program are employed as professionals in both the public and private sectors. Industries which have an impact upon the environment maintain a staff of environmental scientists and technicians to ensure compliance with the standards of the society. Government agencies employ broadly trained natural resource scientists to serve in regulatory or management functions for the resources in their jurisdiction. Additional employment opportunities exist in environmental journalism and education, and with the many nonprofit organizations which have environmental concerns. In addition, students in either option are well prepared for graduate programs dealing with resource and environmental issues and in traditional academic disciplines.
