Please describe your department / program and its mission.
The Department of Natural Resources Management is committed to providing the highest standards
of excellence in learning, research, and engagement on all aspects of regional, state, and global
natural resource management and environmental sciences. The Department of Natural Resources
Management remains committed to ranking among the top programs in natural resources in the U.S.
Toward this end, the faculty has distinguished itself in both teaching and research, as well as within
the professional disciplines of individual faculty members.
The Department of Natural Resources Management is primarily concerned with the application of
basic ecological principles to the use and management of natural resources. The curriculum for
natural resources management prepares students for graduate school. The range management and

conservationists or wildlife biologists for agencies such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Natural
Resource Conservation Service, Forest Service, and Bureau of Land Management.
