Welcome to the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management. We recently changed our name from Renewable Resources. We feel that the new name more accurately reflects who we are and what we do.

The Department of Ecosystem Science and Management integrates

• Rangeland ecology and watershed management,
• Soil science, and
• Entomology.

The education of students in our department is enhanced by learning not only of their discipline but also how their discipline relates to others. This increases the marketability of our students when they seek rewarding jobs and is appreciated by their future employers.

Our research increasingly tackles the information gaps which are at the frontiers of science and management that lie in the connection between disciplines. Our extension programs offer integrated options needed to face real-world problems that are often not separated along scientific disciplinary boundaries.

We offer undergraduate degrees in

• Rangeland Ecology and Watershed Management
• Agroecology

We also cooperate in undergraduate degrees in

• Agricultural Education
• Earth System Science.

We offer minors in

• Soil Science
• Entomology
• Agroecology
• Restoration Ecology
• Rangeland Ecology and Watershed Management.

Students may earn a secondary degree in Environment and Natural Resources.

Graduate degrees (MS and PhD) are offered in

• Rangeland Ecology and Watershed Management
• Soil Science
• Entomology. 

We also cooperate in the following graduate programs:

• Program in Ecology (PhD)
• Water Resources (MS)
• Water Resources/Environmental Sciences and Engineering (PhD).
