The Department of Ecosystem Science and Management (ESM) integrates four disciplines: rangeland ecology, hydrology/watershed management,
soil science, and entomology. In ESM, our students learn not only their own discipline
but also how their discipline relates to others. Our research tackles the information
gaps that are at the frontiers of science and resource management, particularly those
that reside in the connections between disciplines. Our programs in extension and
outreach offer integrated solutions to real-world problems that cross disciplinary
boundaries.
- Undergraduate education programs include one major, six minors, and dual degrees in Environment and Natural Resources,
as well as collaboration with the Agricultural Education, Earth System Science, and
Ranch Management and Leadership degree programs.
- Graduate education programs include the M.S. and PhD in three degree programs: Rangeland Ecology and Watershed
Management, Soil Science, and Entomology, as well as a graduate certificate in Reclamation
and Restoration Ecology, and collaboration with three interdisciplinary programs.
We offer a multitude of research opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students. Faculty Research Page
