The Range Science program at the School of Natural Resource Sciences provides graduate education culminating in Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees. Specialized studies may focus on diverse fields including rangeland ecology, fire ecology, vegetation community changes, ecosystem service rehabilitation, land reclamation, and wildlife population studies in rangeland environments.
Academic and research plans are customized to align with each student's goals and interests, while encouraging cross-disciplinary methods in range science studies.
For the M.S. degree, the program offers two pathways: a thesis track and a comprehensive study track. The M.S. curriculum mandates 30 semester credits of graduate-level coursework with a minimum 3.0 GPA. Students pursuing an M.S. must also successfully defend an oral examination encompassing both their research and coursework.
Typically, M.S. candidates fulfill all degree requirements within a two-year period.
