Broad academic training in the biological, physical, and social sciences and mathematics in combination with specialized training within the NRC concentration prepares students for professional employment in local, state or federal government, in non-profit conservation organizations, with environmental consulting firms and the green industry, in multinational corporations and investment firms or as self-employed conservationists. A wide variety of careers exist in natural resources conservation: professional foresters and plant ecologists; wildlife and fisheries technicians and biologists; park managers and rangers; naturalists, environmental educators, and outdoor recreation specialists; watershed scientists; water and land use planners and managers; environmental lawyers, policy makers, and conservation law enforcement officers; computer mappers; and conservation consultants. Students are also well prepared for graduate training programs that qualify them for such careers as research scientists, environmental administrators and policy makers, lawyers, and educators. An education in natural resources conservation provides students with the tools and knowledge to live a more sustainable life and to be a strong advocate for sound environmental stewardship.
