Natural Resource Majors |
| A major in one of the natural resources
emphasizes the interaction among people, other living components in
the natural world, natural resources and the environment. If you
plan a career in natural resources, you'll develop a background in
both the life and physical sciences.
UW-Richland offers an array of courses needed to begin natural resource majors. These programs build upon knowledge in biological science, chemistry, physics, social sciences, mathematics and humanities. UW-Richland also offers specially designed courses for majors transferring to UW-Stevens Point. (See Course List) Career opportunities: While employment opportunities in the biological sciences are expected to increase faster than the average for all other fields, this is not necessarily the case for the areas of natural resources. Typically, form 80-100% of the individuals who graduate with one of these majors either find a position in their area of expertise, or enter graduate school for further study. Job opportunities include, but are not limited to: industry, consulting firms, state and federal agencies, arborists, foresters, naturalists, wildlife managers, environmental managers, researchers, research managers, resource managers, toxicologist, water chemist, watershed manager, limnologist and fisheries managers.
