UMass Amherst
Natural Resources Conservation (NRC) program is for investigators and problem-solvers with a passion for nature and ecology. NRC students develop a broad understanding of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems combined with practical experiences needed to effectively manage resources, protect ecosystem functions and conserve biodiversity. With rigorous academic training in the natural, conservation and social sciences, what sets NRC graduates apart is the hands-on experience through field-based courses, research projects with world-class ecologists, and internships.
