Goal 3: Create a natural resource management plan demonstrating an understanding of societal values and interests.
Goal 4: Develop a comprehensive understanding of software, hardware, field, and laboratory techniques commonly used in the study of ecology, evolution, and natural resources management.
Goal 5: Demonstrate the ability to design experiments and interpret numeric and graphical data.
Goal 6: Think critically and solve problems using evidence-based reasoning.
Goal 7: Communicate effectively orally and through written text and graphics.
