OSU College of Agricultural Sciences,  Rangeland Ecology and Management Rangeland Ecology   and Management     Rangeland is a diverse and dynamic set of ecosystems that range from high mountain meadow to lowland deserts. Rangelands produce a wide variety of products including beautiful recreational scenery, sustainable and productive forage, clean and adequate water, and improved wildlife habitat to name a few.   the Rangeland Ecology and Management degree program provides an opportunity to emphasize areas such as rangeland restoration, habitat, watershed landscape, soils and grazing management.   Some career opportunities include land managers, scientists, educators, producers and conservationist. Employment is found with federal agencies, state and federal government, private industry and nonprofit conservation organizations. Curriculum:   The curriculum maintains a balance among course work in ecology science, domestic animal science, wildlife science, botany, and other biological sciences. Many courses also include field trips that provide you with hands-on training and experience.   Below is a general representation of the course work you're likely to complete as a rangeland ecology and management student. Additionally, you must complete OSU General education requirements, called the Baccalaureate Core. You can obtain specific information regarding curriculum requirements and transfer of credit from an academic advisor in the Agriculture Program at EOU.
