Programs: Natural Resource Management

The School of Natural Resource Sciences at NDSU provides the skills and knowledge necessary for a successful career in natural resource management. With six distinct areas of emphasis, students are provided with the flexibility to establish a strong foundation in both the biological and earth sciences.

For Mike McKenna, the natural resource management program at NDSU was a perfect fit. Not only did he have a passion for the outdoors and environmental conservation, but the program’s emphasis on hands-on learning and practical experience was exactly what he was looking for.

“This program provides a personal learning experience that has prepared me for my career in many ways and a welcoming environment that makes it feel like home,” said the senior from Gwinner, North Dakota. “From soil science to ecology, rangeland management to livestock management and even water quality, every aspect is important in the interactions between farmers and the sustainable utilization of natural resources.”

McKenna said finding innovative solutions for effectively managing and conserving natural resources for present and future generations is vital. The multifaceted nature of natural resource management, encompassing various critical components of the environment, is what drew him into the program.
