Overview
The graduate program in range management is administered by an interdepartmental group of faculty members from the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management (ESPM) and related departments at UC Berkeley. The program prepares students with a bachelor's degree in resource management or related disciplines to pursue advanced work. Graduate study leads to a Master of Science degree that serves as the basis for a professional career in rangeland management. Fields of specialization include grassland, savanna, and shrubland ecology, rangeland rehabilitation, wetland ecology, and rangeland policy.
Excellent laboratory and field facilities are available for student research. These include several experimental range properties and large wildland ranges easily accessible from Berkeley. The faculty is actively engaged in both theoretical and practical research.
Doctoral work in range management may be pursued as part of the PhD program in ESPM.
