Park Management and Conservation
The park management and conservation curriculum prepares students for careers as professionals in a variety of natural resource management agencies and organizations. Graduates are employed as park rangers, game wardens, naturalists, planners, and directors and in other areas of natural resource management.
Management of natural resources is critical to America's future. Wise management will require the best efforts of highly trained and dedicated professionals. The Department of Horticulture, Forestry and Recreation Resources has award-winning faculty who are committed to provide the highest level of professional training in the field.
Most employment opportunities are in the public sector, including such agencies as the National Park Service, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the USDA Forest Service, state park departments, and city and county park and recreation departments. There are also positions in private business at resorts, lodges, estates, and other areas.
