Interest in environmental resource management continues to grow due to the increasingly complex environmental challenges found around the world. Graduates with a master’s in environmental resource management are the scientists, conservationists, and problem-solvers who lead collaborative teams from consulting firms, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations to solve today’s environmental issues.

In addition to the fundamentals of biological and chemical environmental processes, students are knowledgeable in local and global cause-and-effect relationships of human activities in the development and use of environmental resources. Students learn how to analyze and manage natural environments for human benefit while maintaining ecosystem health.
