To obtain a Master of Science degree, all NREM graduate students must fulfill three categories of requirements: those set by the Iowa State University Graduate College, the Department of Natural Resource Ecology & Management (NREM), and their selected graduate major. A non-thesis master's option exists for students pursuing a broader academic path without thesis research.
