Education — Degree Programs

Master’s Program in Natural Resources
and Environmental Science

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences, has partnered with the Joseph Regenstein, Jr. School of the Chicago Botanic Garden to offer students the opportunity to earn graduate degrees in disciplines related to natural resources and environmental sciences. Areas of study include, but are not limited to: managing soil and water quality, urban forestry, resource ecology and human-landscape interactions. The off-campus program gives students flexibility in selecting a degree program and in completing part-time study in the Chicago area.
