The Retailing and Consumer Studies Division is committed to excellence in education by preparing students to serve consumers in a culturally diverse society through careers in a global retailing industry. Our students are actively recruited by successful retail firms across the nation. Students enrolled in majors in the School of Family and Consumer Resources may elect to choose a minor subject area with the approval of the student's advisor. The school offers the degrees of Bachelor of Science in Renewable Natural Resources with a major in wildlife, watershed, and rangeland resources and the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture with a major in landscape architecture. The landscape architecture major is being phased out and is not available to new students.
Minors are available in watershed management, range management, and wildlife and fisheries science.
The school encourages outstanding students to participate in the University-wide Honors Program. Student Organizations Students in the school are encouraged to actively participate in their respective student chapters of national organizations and to attend and participate in national and local meetings of the professional societies whenever possible. Active student chapters of the Society for Range Management, the Wildlife Society, the American Fisheries Society, and the American Society of Landscape Architects are available to students in the school. The Natural Resource Student Association is an organization open to graduate and undergraduate students with an interest in natural resources. This group is active in many activities associated with the school's programs.
