The Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources at the University of Vermont is a community of students, faculty and staff who share concern for the environment, excitement for discovery, and commitment to life-long learning. Our emphasis on the integration of natural science and social science perspectives reflects the interdisciplinary context in which ecosystem management, resource planning, and environmental concerns must be addressed. The Rubenstein School actively supports diversity: biodiversity in natural communities and cultural diversity in human communities. The Rubenstein School's undergraduate core curriculum is a four-year sequence that cultivates understanding of the natural and the social sciences and challenges students to integrate and use what they have learned to solve real-world environmental problems. The core courses incorporate the body of fundamental knowledge, skills and values that the faculty believes are essential for all natural resource professionals. The masters of science in natural resources prepares students to pursue studies in advanced disciplinary topics. They will learn scientific and practical methods and develop technical skills for understanding ecological, physical, social, political, and economic aspects of environmental and natural resource issues. Concentrations available in the M.S. in Natural Resources degree are: Aquatic Ecology and Watershed Science; Environment, Society, and Public Affairs; Environmental Thought and Culture; Forestry; and Wildlife Biology. In our Ph.D. Program, we especially seek students interested in interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary approaches to natural resource issues, but students can select an area of focus and conduct in-depth research in any of the specialty areas listed for the Master's Program.
