There is only one option that is part of the BS in Resource Conservation, the Conservation
Option. All students are placed into that option. We have been advised from the Provost’s
Office that we should not have a major with an option that all students do, and that we need to
remove the option. The Conservation Option does not provide any special training, and does
not have any additional requirements. In fact, the Conservation Option is simply leftover
from a period of time when the Resource Conservation major had multiple options. We are
proposing to remove the Conservation Option. Students will now obtain a Resource
Conservation degree with no formal option.
