The Renewable Resources Department provides its students with a broad background and scientific training in renewable natural resources ecology and management with an emphasis on rangelands.
Students take solid scientific and ecological background courses.
They then learn integrated management skills using this information in Range Management, Watershed Management, Soils, Animal Sciences, and Resource Economics courses. Restricted electives in Recreation, Forestry, Fish and Wildlife Management, Forage Crops and Agronomy provide further opportunities to learn about the complexity of renewable natural resources policy and management, with an emphasis on the multiple uses of rangelands. Courses in the ENR Concentration will provide an opportunity for students to interact with students from other departments and learn more about natural resource policy issues. All Renewable Resources students, including those in the ENR concentration, are eligible for most of the approximately 80 scholarships awarded by the College of Agriculture each year. Similar number and amount scholarships are also awarded to graduate students in the department each year.
