The Natural Resources – Global Change Ecology and Management Emphasis program from University of Arizona prepares students to work effectively as natural resource scientists, managers, and leaders ready to address evolving management changes in the face of global change. Our program draws on the School of Natural Resources and the Environment’s strengths in the biological, physical, and socio-economic sciences.
Students in the Global Change Ecology and Management option interact with other programs in the School that emphasize applications of ecological principles for conservation and management of plant, animal, and water resources at local and global scales, and solutions to negative impacts of human activity. Students complete individualized study plans that provide a foundation in natural resource science, conservation, and management, and elective courses that allow students to explore areas of interest in global change.

“Choosing the Master’s program for Physiological Sciences at the University of Arizona was one of the best decisions I could have made in my education. Our department is warm and collaborative, offering an array of research topics and techniques underneath a vast and integrative umbrella of physiology. Beyond my research experience, I was presented with teaching opportunities, which I feel honed my skill of scientific communication. Having the dynamic research/teaching/class schedule not only kept me active but helped me reinforce material in multiple contexts. Overall, this program was exactly what I wanted in my segway into the medical sciences… and with my teaching assistantship paying for my tuition, how could I say no?”
