The School of Natural Resources and Environment (SNRE) offers campus-wide, interdisciplinary degree programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. SNRE is governed by the SNRE Advisory Board and advised by the SNRE Faculty Advisory Council. The University of Florida School of Natural Resources and Environment offers interdisciplinary coursework in the basic and applied science of ecology, the related social sciences, and sustainability, leading to M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Choose from about 450 courses, 280 faculty advisors, and 44 participating departments. Research areas of graduate students in ecology range across natural resource ecology, environmental policy and management, and sustainable development.
Environmental problems are fundamentally human problems and should be understood in terms of human motivations and actions in a biophysical context. Their solution requires holistic thinking about dynamic ecological systems and the social, economic, and political forces driving human action. To this end, the Interdisciplinary Ecology graduate program aims to provide advanced training in ecosystem thinking and the main theories and methodologies of the biophysical and social sciences, fostering integrative approaches to complex real-world problems. Interdisciplinary Ecology students are deeply interested in the sustainability problem and welcome the challenge of addressing it across multiple traditional disciplines.
Combination Degree Program
The School offers a combination bachelor’s/master’s degree program that allows qualified students to earn both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree, saving one semester.
