The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management (NREM) at the University of Hawaii at Manoa is pleased to announce the establishment of a new, course-driven professional M.S. degree (M.S. Plan B) for students seeking advanced training in natural resource and environmental management. Currently, we offer four different focal areas in the professional M.S. Plan B track: Geospatial Analysis & Modeling; Natural Resources Economics and Environmental Planning; Land & Water Resource Management; and Applied Terrestrial Ecology (please see http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/nrem/students/masters.html for more information). NREM is an interdisciplinary department that offers unique training in both the natural and social sciences, with emphasis on both tropical island systems and globally relevant issues.
In addition to the NREM professional M.S. Plan B degree, we also offer research-based M.S. (M.S. Plan A) and doctoral (Ph.D.) degrees. Other unique aspects of our program include certificate programs in urban and regional planning, ocean policy, and participation in a University-wide specialization in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology (EECB; http://www.hawaii.edu/eecb/). Please see http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/nrem/ for complete details on the department and degree offerings. The application deadline to begin study in the Fall 2010 semester is March 1(http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/nrem/students/grad-e_komo_mai.html#admit).
