Head Faculty Advisor: Professor
Barbara Allen-Diaz
The Master of Science in Range Management prepares students with a bachelor’s degree in resource management or related disciplines to pursue advance study of rangelands and range management. Graduate study in range management serves as the basis for a professional career in rangeland livestock production systems, grassland, savanna, wetland and/or shrubland ecology and management, native plants, rangeland rehabilitation, conservation easements, wildlife habitat, water quality issues, working landscapes, and rangeland economics and policy.
Two types of programs lead to the M.S. degree in ESPM. Plan I requires course work and a thesis, and Plan II requires course work and an oral examination.
Doctoral work in range management may be pursued as part of the doctorate program in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management.
