Overview

With an emphasis on direct and hands-on learning, the Fire Ecology and Management program from University of Idaho will provide you with an understanding of fire’s holistic role in the environment and help you develop the understanding and skills to solve complex problems involved in the management of natural resources.

As a fire ecology student, you will gain knowledge in where and why wildland fires burn and what their impacts are on landscapes and communities. You will learn techniques in measuring and modeling fire effects on soils and vegetation, mapping wildland fires and conducting prescribed fires in a variety of ecosystems.

Graduates of this program are prepared to apply their fire ecology knowledge and technical skills to natural resource management problems and other important environmental, political, economic and social issues related to wildland fires — such as air quality, water quality and the loss of life and property.

This program could be a good fit if you:

Want to challenge yourself by applying biology, physics, and chemistry within an interdisciplinary program.
Want to participate in research experiences for undergraduates with innovative faculty.
Like solving complex problems.
Enjoy nature and being outdoors.
Have a natural curiosity about fire.
Are interested in the management of natural resources.
