Fellowships Available for Csu Integrated Resource Management Masters Program at Csu

Four fellowships for those interested in land and resource management to earn a master’s degree in agriculture through Colorado State University’s Western Center for Integrated Resource Management are now available through a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The training program provides students with skills to manage agricultural and natural resources using environmentally sustainable practices rather than focusing on short-term objectives. The course consists of 11 three-credit courses that will train students to understand how land, animal, financial and human resources can be managed in an integrated way to ensue long-term sustainability and profitability.

Special consideration for fellowships will be given to Native American applicants willing to teach the course matter at tribal and/or community colleges. An objective of the program is to assist tribal and community college with instruction and materials to train additional land managers in the principles of integrated resource management.
