A new master’s degree program designed to prepare students to become collaborative, interdisciplinary leaders in environmental and natural resource fields will launch this fall, following action by the University of Wyoming Board of Trustees.
According to UW, the board voted at its May meeting to approve the new Master of Science degree in environment, natural resources and society (ENRS), a program in UW’s Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources.
