Overview

About Resource Conservation

In the Resource Conservation program of The University of Montana students are provided with both breadth and depth in the natural and social sciences while also allowing students the flexibility to specialize based on their interests and career goals. Our dedicated faculty advise students within ten tracks (areas of emphasis within the major) that reflect current and emerging professions within the field of resource conservation. These tracks enable students to focus on specific disciplines such as ecology, hydrology, or policy, or to build interdisciplinary knowledge in fields such as wildland fire management or international conservation. Because the Resource Conservation curriculum is flexible, many students participate in field courses and programs, study abroad, do internships, and conduct research, further enriching their education and preparing them for jobs and graduate studies.

Career Options

A degree in Resource Conservation prepares students for a wide range of natural resources and conservation-related jobs. Our alumni work as ecologists, educators, hydrologists, public land managers, soils scientists, environmental consultants, community foresters, policy analysts, natural resource planners, and field naturalists, and much more. Resource Conservation graduates are employed by public land management agencies, conservation non-profits, and private companies. Many of our alumni pursue graduate studies or attend law school.
