A Natural Resources master's program equips students with specialized research skills for conserving and managing varied ecosystems, including wildlife, flora, and aquatic systems. Under faculty guidance, each scholar designs a personalized curriculum and research project (thesis), gaining practical experience through collaboration with expert professors in cutting-edge facilities. The program also offers a combined degree option with Business Administration.
Both M.S. and Ph.D. candidates collaborate with faculty advisors in their initial term to craft customized study plans, which involve selecting research subjects, relevant courses, transfer credits, and thesis committee candidates.
Students must submit preliminary study proposals outlining their academic background, research interests, and professional goals before committee review. Committees either approve these proposals or request revisions within a 14-day period. The M.S. curriculum mandates 30-36 credit hours (program-dependent), while doctoral studies require at least 63 credits. Certain programs provide non-thesis alternatives.
