Other students elect the resource conservation program as a basic bachelor's degree prior to entering law school to become environmental or natural resource lawyers. Similarly, a resource conservation program can serve as the base for a secondary education teaching certificate if you wish to become a high school teacher in natural resource or environmental studies. The resource conservation degree also serves students who simply want a college degree and have interests in becoming informed citizen conservationists. This degree is not intended to prepare students for professional careers in forest management, recreation management or wildlife biology. Students wishing to pursue careers in these areas should enroll in the appropriate degree program.
Your course work in resource conservation will be strongly influenced by your career goals. Starting with a basic core curriculum, you and your faculty adviser will develop a list of courses most pertinent to your interests. This list will become your degree program.
