Developing the Next Generation of Natural Resource Professionals
Research & Graduate Programs
As human populations grow, the need for proactive conservation of species and ecosystems vital to our health and well-being grows as well. The College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment seeks to balance quality of life and the sustainability of key natural resources such as forests, wildlife, and water; however, conflicts often occur and must be resolved dispassionately using the best scientific information available. Come join us as we address these conflicts. This is your opportunity to conduct research aimed at solving some of the most critical issues facing society.
We invite you to explore our website to learn about the College’s graduate degree programs, distance education and online learning opportunities, research foci and faculty, and student resources available to support your graduate study at Auburn University.
