PROGRAM DEFINITION
The School of Natural Resources designed its curriculum so that students receive a broad natural resources education as well as a fisheries and wildlife specialization. Graduates are prepared to enter postgraduate programs as well as competitively enter the work force. The breadth of the curriculum prepares graduates to address complex environmental issues and to interact professionally with a multitude of natural resources disciplines to develop solutions to problems. The university curriculum incorporates courses needed for certification in professional societies.

Facilities
In the Spring of 2006, the School of Natural Resources will move into Hardin Center, a state-of-the-art facility located on the University of Nebraska - Lincoln's East Campus. The complex will house three teaching computer labs, two lecture rooms, two teaching laboratories, a student study room, an advising center and several research labs.

Students may select from several career options in the fisheries and wildlife major, which guide the selection of elective courses. The options include:

• Aquatic Ecology
• Conservation Biology
• Fisheries Ecology and Management
• Geospatial Information Sciences
• Habitat Management
• Law Enforcement
• Wildlife Damage Management

With a close proximity to the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and other governmental entities located in Lincoln, students learn rapidly about careers with these public agencies.

There are ample opportunities for internships, temporary and seasonal work and volunteer activities.
