Overview

An Environment and Natural Resources degree from The Ohio State University offers flexibility and diversity in meeting students’ educational, research and career objectives. While the creative idea for investigation may originate with the student’s advisor, the student must demonstrate that he or she has made a rigorous attempt to become familiar with literature relevant to the research topic, identify questions that can realistically be pursued as a thesis, design and carry out studies or experiments to address those questions, analyze the results, and incorporate those results into a coherent Master’s Thesis.

Career Prospects

Students have extensive freedom to customize the course selection in their program of study and include interdisciplinary coursework from other university departments. Our faculty members specialize in seven different areas:
