Science, Conservation, and Stewardship
When you join the School of Natural Resources and the
Environment, you get
• dedicated faculty advising
• internship and research opportunities
• small class size in your major
• scholarship opportunities
• access to great student clubs
• the chance to make a difference
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.
