North Dakota University with the Best Student Life
Expand your environmental expertise with NDSU’s range science minor, a unique program that integrates ecology and management to sustain vital rangelands. Rangelands, which cover over 40% of the earth’s land, are essential for their incredible biodiversity and the invaluable services they provide, from livestock production and wildlife habitats to clean air, water and recreation. These ecosystems, including grasslands, savannahs, deserts, alpine meadows and wetlands, are a cornerstone of global sustainability. With NDSU’s hands-on approach, the range science minor complements your primary field of study, equipping you with practical skills and a deeper understanding of our planet’s most productive and biodiverse landscapes.
