Core Curriculum

The core curriculum consists of 10 credit hours including seminar. The required courses are:

• NR 500, Natural Resources Management - 3 credit hours;
• NR 571 Current Issues in Natural Resources - 3 credit hours;
• A graduate level statistics course - 3 credit hours; and
• The graduate seminar - 1 credit hour.

Students in each technical option are required to present the results of their thesis or project in an open seminar. All full-time students in the Master of Natural Resources program are encouraged to attend departmental seminars each semester they are enrolled in the program. Students will enroll for (1) credit during the semester in which they present a seminar on their Master's project or thesis.

A limited number of 400 level courses from departments other than the major department may count toward the degree requirements. Note that the courses listed within each technical option may have prerequisites. In general, these prerequisites would be required in addition to core and technical option courses. Course substitutions must be approved by the student's committee.
