It is coordinated by Intercollege Programs for Science Education.
Students typically complete the degree in two or three years.
Interdisciplinary efforts and incorporation of both science content and pedagogy have been encouraged during the development of courses. The interdisciplinary Master of Science in Land Rehabilitation degree offers advanced study in rehabilitation of disturbed lands. Site revegetation, soil remediation, riparian zone restoration, stream channel restoration, investigation of impacted geologic resources and remediation of contaminated sites are included in areas of study. Emphasis is placed on developing a broad understanding of soil, plant, and hydrologic processes. Students may focus in a subject area of direct importance to land rehabilitation, such as plant ecology, soil sciences, hydrology, geology, geography, biology, or range science.
