ACADEMICS
Learning with CABNR
CABNR offers academic opportunities to its students that are virtually unsurpassed
in Nevada. Courses taught by world-class scholars are available on topics that span
the globe, cover the latest scientific discoveries, delve deeply into the realms
of agriculture, biochemistry, natural resources and veterinary science. CABNR students
pursue knowledge both broadly and in depth, intellectually tasting a range of important
topics and approaches to human knowledge while they also undertake advanced work
within a special area of concentration.
The Faculty's departmental structure supports programs that guide concentrators
from their first introduction to a field to greater levels of sophistication, while
a number of other academic programs support CABNR students’ broader educational
needs and specialized academic opportunities. Students negotiate the array of academic
offerings with the help of an advising system that is offered through the concentrations
and in the residences, and that addresses student concerns from the most routine
administrative questions to questions about shaping academic programs that are right
for an individual student's needs. Many non-curricular resources are available that
help translate our students' goals into reality.
The recently curricular review has resulted in innovations and advances in a number
of academic areas: the programs in Agricultural Science, Forestry Management and
Ecology, and Range Ecology and Management program with new courses and innovative
pedagogies; expanded opportunities now exist for students to study in the field
and lab, to conduct research with a faculty member, and to take seminars in the
first year; secondary fields offer the opportunity for guided coursework in a field
outside the concentration. Additional information on innovations, and more, can
be found in the various departments and programs linked on this website.
