Natural Resources: Sustainable Environments
Focusing on the environment around us, areas in natural resources explore the interactions and impacts of our use of the natural world. As our population increases, issues concerning sustainability and the environment will be vital, and will impact all of our lives.
In the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, our programs connect students to research and hands-on experiences that address environmental and sustainability issues from a scientific, policy and social justice lens.
We help conserve and support our natural resources today while building sustainable answers for tomorrow!
