About the course
North Dakota is fortunate to have large areas of rangeland, and grazing agriculture remains a vital part of the state?s economy and way of life. At North Dakota State University, we look at the entire rangeland ecosystem?from plant diversity, to wildlife, to soils and water?and study how humans can best manage these natural resources for both sustainable production and conservation. We prepare students to study and manage rangelands not only in North Dakota, but across the country and around the world. Range science provides students with knowledge and experience to assess, monitor and manage rangeland resources. Using an ecosystem perspective, students study the inter-relationships between a variety of plant, soil, animal and social sciences. The undergraduate program is designed to train students in rangeland plant ecology and management, disturbance ecology and management, including grazing and fire, range improvement and restoration, management and monitoring, and watershed management. Students are required to have basic knowledge in biology, botany, chemistry, mathematics and zoology. Courses in related fields such as animal science, soil science, entomology, geology, geographic information systems and natural resource management are included.
