Wildlife Ecology and Conservation is one of six possible concentration areas within the Natural Resources Conservation undergraduate major. The concentration emphasizes the biology and ecology of wildlife; how to sustainably manage, conserve and restore wildlife populations and their habitats; how to resolve human-wildlife conflict and wildlife disease problems; and how to conserve and enhance biological diversity.
Water Resources is one of six possible concentration areas within the Natural Resources Conservation undergraduate major. Water is essential to life and is a critical resource that needs careful management to sustain human populations and ecosystems. This concentration emphasizes skills in understanding and applying concepts to manage water resources with applications related to ecosystem impacts, water quality, climate change, storm water, and water supply.
Urban Forestry and Arboriculture is one of six possible concentration areas within the Natural Resources Conservation undergraduate major. Urban Forestry & Arboriculture involves the sustainable management of trees in cities and suburbs, where more than 80% of people in the world live. Urban foresters and arborists work to ensure healthy populations of trees to provide sustained benefits to millions of people.
The Sustainable Food and Farming Certificate will help you prepare for a life and livelihood in support of viable farms, farm families, and healthy food for all.
The iCons program offers a sustainability-focused integrative science curriculum, teaching students how to apply basic science and engineering concepts to problems of global significance, including consideration of environmental and economic facets of current problems.
Forest Ecology and Conservation is one of six possible concentration areas within the Natural Resources Conservation undergraduate major. The goal of forestry, especially in the complex urbanized northeast, is to sustainably maintain the provision of the full suite of forest benefits for society: watershed protection, wilderness and other forms of outdoor recreation opportunities, maintaining biodiversity of both plants and animals, sustainably producing wood, paper, and fiber products to meet societal needs, and even controlling global climate.
Fisheries Ecology and Conservation is one of six possible concentration areas within the Natural Resources Conservation undergraduate major. Its focus is on aquatic systems and their inhabitants: how to manage, conserve and restore fish and aquatic animal populations and their habitats; how to develop sustainable fisheries programs; effects of land use, water flow and contaminants on aquatic ecosystem health and fish community structure; and how to conserve and enhance biological diversity.
Environmental Conservation is one of six possible concentration areas within the Natural Resources Conservation undergraduate major. It is designed for students who are interested in developing a general educational focus in the broad area of Environmental Studies for one of the many areas of the environment and conservation not directly covered by the other five concentrations in the NRC major.
