Grassland and Shrubland Ecosystem Science

This track expands the existing non-thesis MS program in Rangeland Ecology and Management and will train students for employment in fields related to this program. Likely employers include industries associated with agroecosystems and livestock husbandry.

Study in this track includes coursework that enhances both the scientific knowledge and applied skills of the PSM student. Students will be required to register for courses that focus on rangeland ecology, integrated range management, and soil development and classification. These students will be able to specialize through electives in landscape ecology, rangeland plant identification, or fire ecology related to rangeland. The translational approach will include experiences in both ecology and applied management of rangelands.
