Preserving natural resources. Improving environmental quality. Making the Earth a safer and healthier place to live for everyone. If those objectives align with your values, then Ball State’s major in natural resources and environmental management (NREM) will help you live them out in your career.

Whether you’re the outdoorsy type who loves exploring nature or you’re drawn to hard sciences and want to apply your knowledge to solve environmental problems, our NREM major will set you on the right course. Our program will teach you how to engage communities on behalf of environmental preservation and apply theoretical ideas in practical ways to the real world.

As a graduate, you will be prepared to immediately jump into a fulfilling environmentally related career in corporations, federal, state, and local government, and nonprofits. Our program is also excellent preparation for further study in graduate school.
