Forest and Rangeland Stewardship Department Majors and Minors

Community thinking. Making connections.

Come as you are. Let’s get you where you want to go! A community atmosphere provides the resources and mentorship you need to develop independent scholarship and critical thought for 21st century natural resource challenges.

All majors and minors in the Forest and Rangeland Stewardship Department ensure you will be at the forefront of advancing well-established fields that improve the sustainability and resilience of forest and rangeland ecosystems.

Our stewardship covers close to 75 percent of the earth’s land surface. What resource speaks to you? We’ll help you learn that language.

Can you see yourself here?

We can.

Our students come straight from high school, transfer from another university, return after a hiatus, serve our country, seek a career change, are the first to attend college in their family, hail from rural towns or big cities, and/or call another country home.

These graduating seniors found what they were looking for.

We expect you will too.

Opportunities.

Skills.

Community.
