The Forest, Rangeland, and Watershed Stewardship Department offers bachelor of science degrees in Forestry, Natural Resource Management, Rangeland Ecology, Watershed Science, and Interdisciplinary Studies in Conservation Biology. The department capitalizes on its proximity to the Rocky Mountains, Colorado High Plains, and inter-montane basins to give students unique educational opportunities in outdoor laboratories as well as in traditional classrooms and laboratory setting.

Undergraduate Rangeland Ecology Degrees

The Rangeland Ecology undergraduate program emphasizes interdisciplinary study of, and research on, the world's rangelands. These rangelands occupy nearly 50 percent of the earth's land surface and consist of natural grasslands, savannas, shrublands, riparian areas, deserts, tundra, alpine communities, and coastal marshes.

Undergraduate Watershed Science Degrees

The management, use, and stewardship of fresh water resources is an increasingly important and complex challenge in Colorado and worldwide. Watershed Science is the interdisciplinary study of the physical, chemical, and biological factors that affect the quantity, quality, and flux of water. Such hydrologic changes have important implications for other natural resources that depend on water.

The Watershed Science Program at Colorado State University has long been recognized as one of the premier programs in the world.
