Specializations & Minors
The School of Natural Resources offers graduate level programs in two areas: Geography and Natural Resources . The two levels have different requirements, timelines, specializations and funding sources.
A specialization is a well-defined area of study that has been approved by the Graduate Council and will appear on the transcript with the program and major. Specializations are optional.
