The Master of Natural Resources (MNR) is an interdisciplinary course-based graduate program designed for current and aspiring professionals who wish to enhance their educational credentials for a career in natural resources. The fundamental objective of the MNR graduate program is to integrate and scale various perspectives – ecology; planning, policy and society; and tools and technology – into a systems view of natural resources. This unique professional degree is accessible to students of diverse academic backgrounds and will help graduates develop credentials and skills for the effective management of natural resources. The degree program can be completed entirely online or through a combination of online and on-campus courses. The MNR program can be combined with the certificate program specializing in fire ecology, management, and technology.
The Integrated Natural Resources Option and the Fire Ecology and Management Option are both available via online education or from attending the Moscow campus. The Environmental Education and Science Communication Option (EESC) is a residential program that is only available at the U of I McCall Field Campus, home of MOSS.
