Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

The Range Management program is designed for transfer to range science, rangeland ecology, or renewable resource programs. It includes courses in applied plant, soil, and animal sciences. Graduates find positions in land management, range livestock management, and wildlife management. Students must successfully complete core courses with a “C-” or better to meet program requirements. Students planning to transfer to a four year program may need to have additional hours beyond the program requirements at Northwest College in order to transfer in as a junior. These students should consult with their advisor and the appropriate four-year college catalog.
