What will I learn in a rangeland ecology and management degree program?

With a bachelor's degree in rangeland ecology and management, you'll learn how to use science to guide decision-making in natural resource management. Graduates of the program have the knowledge and skills for a career working to conserve and restore rangeland ecosystems.

During your first year, you'll take classes in basic sciences, such as biology, chemistry and math. You'll also take an introduction course in natural resources and environmental science. As you move through the major, you'll take courses addressing critical issues in water resource management, sustainability and restoration of rangeland resources, soils, and rangeland animals, among other topics. 

Your major will also take you out of the classroom into labs and field research in places such as the Main Station Field Lab in Reno, which contains more than 800 acres of farmland and is home to herds of cattle and sheep. A range of field sites and outdoor labs provide you with diverse environments to learn and experiment in real-world settings, preparing you for a hands-on career when you graduate.
