Becoming a Natural Resources and Environmental Science Student (NRES)

Natural Resources and Environmental Science (NRES) is an interdisciplinary Bachelor of Science degree grounded in the natural AND social sciences. The curriculum is rich in experiential learning, requiring a 3- week summer camp and an internship or research experience. With small class sizes, one-on-one faculty interactions, writing intensive courses, and a strong network of Alumni working to make a difference locally and globally, NRES is a proven program that has been in existence for over 20 years!

NRE 201: Natural Resources and Environmental Science is the entry point into the major. Students learn about the curriculum and the various focus areas as well as get to know each other as a cohort that will spend the next three years together. A highlight of the course is our two-day trip to Mammoth Cave National Park which includes a service learning project. Each year the project is different but the goal remains the same, to introduce students to our natural environment in a hands-on way.
