The M.S. and Ph.D. programs focus on research, with both requiring a thesis or dissertation. Typically, students should earn an M.S. or equivalent before starting the Ph.D. program. The Natural Resources Field allows flexibility in crafting graduate studies tailored to each student's interests. State-of-the-art lab and field resources are accessible. Numerous graduate students engage in international research projects. This natural resources graduate program emphasizes personalized, cross-disciplinary learning. Students collaborate with faculty advisors to determine coursework and develop research or professional projects. Admission requires a faculty member's commitment to mentor an applicant, making early communication with potential advisors crucial during applications.
The Graduate Field of Natural Resources provides advanced education for MS and PhD degrees. We feature two research-based degrees: Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy. Alternatively, applicants may choose the combined MS/PhD track to earn both degrees sequentially. These programs emphasize original research, graduate-level coursework, and the completion of either a thesis (MS) or dissertation (PhD).
