This program focuses on applying the scientific method to cultivate critical thinking and analytical abilities for addressing conservation and management challenges in wildlife ecology, wildlands, restoration science, and/or rangeland ecology. Depending on the specialization, advanced coursework may include statistics, geographic information systems (GIS), soil science, model testing, systematics, or advanced ecology. Each concentration mandates original research culminating in a thesis, with work expected to meet professional journal publication standards to streamline future submissions. Students are also urged to present their findings at academic conferences.
