NC State’s Natural Resources Masters Program is a unique, intercollegiate, multidisciplinary program that focuses on several aspects of natural resource policy, management, and assessment. A selection of technical options couple Natural Resources core courses in resource issues and management with a series of related courses in a variety of technical disciplines. Many positions in federal and state agencies, private companies, and environmental organizations require individuals with expertise in a technical area coupled with a broad knowledge of policy and management.
Graduate students in Natural Resources may choose to pursue a Master of Science in Natural Resources or a non-thesis Master of Natural Resources degree.
The Masters of Science in Natural Resources (MS-NR) degree requires that a student develop and conduct a research project and present methodologies and results of the test or experiment as a thesis. The MS-NR degree is the preferred track for students who are interested in pursuing a Ph.D. or who anticipate conducting or reviewing research in their future work.
