Overview
Approximately 60% of the state’s land mass is grassland. Students develop a strong base in grassland ecology and ecosystem assessment and learn how to apply fundamental principles and technology to the management and monitoring of terrestrial systems, including grasslands. The University of Nebraska is commonly recognized as the birthplace of prairie ecology.
Building on this base, students learn how effective grassland management is essential for grassland biodiversity and resilience, wildlife habitat, conservation, livestock production, and other ecosystem services. Grassland ecology and management is for students excited about the study and management of private and public grasslands.
At the University of Nebraska-Lincoln the Grassland Ecology and Management degree program is an integration of disciplines involved in the study, conservation, and utilization of rangelands. Students develop a strong background in plant and physical sciences in preparation for studying the ecology and management of rangelands in upper-level courses.
Career Opportunities
- Careers include managers of grassland resources on private and public lands with specialization in habitat management, grassland restoration/monitoring, or grassland management; positions with environmental consulting firms, natural resources districts, public land management agencies, land use planning agencies, and federal and state wildlife divisions.
- The curriculum meets the federal government's requirements for rangeland management specialist positions in such agencies as the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Bureau of Land Management, and Forest Service.
- The breadth of the curriculum prepares students for postgraduate education in most disciplines related to natural resource sciences.
