Course Overview

Renewable Natural Resources (RENR) is for students desiring a rigorous education in the study and management of sustainable ecosystems for a wide variety of resource values. The RENR program of study is comprised of a core of courses and two emphases.

This major prepares students for careers in public and private organizations that plan and manage natural resources. RENR lets you design your expertise in natural resources and ecology, wildlife, recreation, and water. You can plan a career around natural resource management, social and public policy, or biophysical sciences.
