The bachelor of science degree program prepares students for a variety of career paths based on the emphasis they choose. This emphasis is designed for students interested in a career in municipal, county, state, or national park management. Entry-level positions may include working as a technician or aide in order to obtain the experience required to advance to a higher management position. Students may complete internships anywhere. Past interns have worked as river recreation technicians in Oregon, fought fires in Idaho, assisted with ruffed grouse studies in northern Minnesota, and carried out soil conservation projects in North Dakota.
Opportunities are unlimited.
