What you've always wanted to do The natural world poses questions our students want to answer, motivates them to understand, and inspires them to act. Our students are scientists and stewards. We begin with a passion for nature, a commitment to education, and confidence that science can provide answers to pressing questions. You end up with a great education.

What is our impact? A student tracks Cooper's Hawks in Tucson to understand how wildlife respond to urban environments.

A Maior in Natural Resources focusing on ... Conservation Biology The Conservation Biology Option encourages students to study conservation across taxa (invertebrates, vertebrates, plants, fungi, microbes) and across scientific

disciplines (ecology, genetics, evolution), supported by courses in policy, planning, and economics. It provides an option to pursue careers in education, law, policy, and scientific approaches to conservation.

Ecology, Management, and Restoration of Rangelands Rangeland Ecology and Management deals with the biological and physical processes of ecosystems and the application of this knowledge to the sustainable use of range and open lands. This is a great opportunity for students with an interest in plant ecology, plant-animal interactions, and the restoration and management of landscapes.

Global Change Ecology and Management We live in a rapidly changing world, affecting every area of natural resource science and management. The option in

Global Change Ecology and Management is designed to prepare students to work effectively as natural resource scientists and managers in an uncertain future. Students in this option will represent a new generation of natural resource leaders ready to address evolving science and management

Watershed Management and Ecohydrology Watershed Management and Ecohydrology is the art and science of managing natural resources of wild land drainage basins, with special consideration

given to the quantity and quality of water resources. Watershed managers are concerned with sustainable productivity as water, wood, forage, wildlife, and recreational opportunities.

Wildlife or Fisheries Conservation and Management This option involves the study of the biology and ecology of wild animals, fish, and other aquatic organisms. Managers and biologists are concerned with maintaining species diversity, improving conditions for declining and endangered species, managing populations that are hunted or fished, conducting law enforcement, and coordinating other resource management activities to maintain environmental quality.

A Career in Natural Resources Our degrees are just the beginning. They help prepare you for a career as a scientist, manager, educator, or policy-maker. Our students work for federal and state agencies such as the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the USDA Forest Service, Arizona Department of Game and Fish, and tribal and municipal governments, and in private industry for environmental consulting firms or NGOs such as The Nature Conservancy. They conduct research, they manage resources, they educate the public, and they promote positive change.
