Overview

The University of Idaho fellows in Environmental Education and Science Communication earn a Master of Natural Resources through a unique combination of academic theory and hands-on practice. Living at the scenic McCall Field Campus, grads develop an array of professional skills and expertise. Applied coursework and targeted study in science communication, leadership, place-based education, and ecology, give grads what they need to earn a degree, make a difference, and find their place. NOTE: we are unable to accept international students into the program at this time.
