Majors, Minors, and Certificates

We're a small school with big ideas.

We offer some of the best programs in the country to learn about conservation and sustainable management of our natural resources. Learn new and better ways to use and restore our land, water, and natural habitats through in-the-field classes and research. Our graduates understand the challenges facing our world and are prepared to manage them for the future.
