OVERVIEW The Field of Natural Resources offers students the freedom to design a graduate program that addresses their individual interests. Students work with faculty advisors to identify course requirements and to define a research or professional project. In order to be admitted, a faculty member must express interest in supervising a prospective student, therefore it is important to correspond with potential faculty advisors during the application process. Individual mentoring by faculty is fundamental to our philosophy of graduate education and to the success of our students. DEGREES We offer two research degrees: the Master of Science (MS) and Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD). We also offer a professional degree: the Masters of Professional Studies (MPS). Graduate program (PhD/MS) The Graduate Field of Natural Resources offers advanced studies leading to the degrees of M.S. and Ph.D. These degrees require a focus on primary research, including supplemental courses at the graduate level.  Graduate Field Faculty  Application procedures  Funding Current students Graduate Student Association  Policies & Procedures  Visiting Campus as a Prospective Graduate Student   Graduate program (MPS) A Master of Professional Studies (M.P.S.) degree is available for students whose interests are not primarly research-oriented.
