About the NRES Secondary Major
Elevate your K-State major to better understand and solve today's most pressing environmental and sustainability issues with interdisciplinary tools, approaches, and perspectives.
Why NRES Matters to Your Degree and Career
Because environmental issues are often extensive and complex, they often defy solutions offered by those from a single field of study. The NRES Secondary Major expands students' abilities to apply broadly-based scientific knowledge to improve the management of soil, air, water, mineral, biological, and energy resources.
Increasing government, public, and corporate concerns about the environment means career opportunities are available for those trained to address a range of natural resource issues AND who can work effectively in an interdisciplinary setting with diverse sets of stakeholders.
The NRES Secondary Major documents these knowledge and skill sets and provides students with important and demonstrable qualifications highly sought after by employers. The program is open to degree‐seeking undergraduate or graduate students in all colleges.
