Learning by doing
At the Department of Forest and Rangeland Stewardship, learning extends far beyond the classroom. As an undergraduate student, you’ll gain practical experience applying scientific concepts to real-world natural resource challenges through fieldwork, laboratories, research, and collaborative projects.
From measuring forest health and monitoring rangelands to restoring ecosystems and analyzing spatial data, you’ll develop the technical skills and critical thinking needed to make informed management decisions. Courses emphasize hands-on learning in Colorado’s diverse landscapes, giving you opportunities to work in forests, grasslands, watersheds, and other ecosystems while learning from faculty who are actively advancing the field.
By graduation, you’ll leave with more than a degree – you’ll have the experience, confidence, and problem-solving skills to help steward forests, rangelands, and natural resources for future generations.
