Graduate Programs in Natural Resource Management

The Department of Natural Resource Management offers programs of study leading to the Master of Science (thesis and non-thesis) and Master of Agriculture (non-thesis) degrees in Range and Wildlife Management, depending on an individual's educational objectives. Programs in Natural Resource Management emphasize, through the mastery of advanced technology, methods of improving and/or better utilizing agricultural resources.

The graduate program is designed to prepare students for advanced educations (Ph.D.) and for careers in teaching, extension, research, management, adn other occupations requiring the hight level capabilities of a resource manager/scientist. Offerings in collateral fields enable the student to develop a program tailored to their particular needs and interests. GRE scores of 900 (verbal and quantitative) are required for full admission to the program. Contact the department for additional application materials and requirements.

The Department of Natural Resource Management recently formalized a cooperative agreement with Texas A&M University (TAMU) to offer a Ph.D. in Wildlife Science (through the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Science at TAMU) and Rangeland Ecology (through the Department of Rangeland Ecology and Management at TAMU). Details on the Cooperative Ph.D. Program can be requested from the NRM Chair.
