The Associate of Science degree in Natural Resources Management (NRM) is an interdisciplinary program incorporating all sciences-Earth, Life, Physical, and Environmental, Ojibwa and Metis cultural courses, and General Education requirements. TMCC’s NRM program is collaborating with the NDSU NRM department to create a program that is designed to help you obtain a job as a NRM technician upon completion of the Associate of Science degree program or to transfer.
There are no special requirements for admission into this program. Please refer to the TMCC Admission section for future students.
The following curriculum is suggested as an aid in program planning and may be modified by the student in order to meet specific requirements of the intended four-year program at a university. Each student is urged to consult with an academic advisor early in his/her freshman year to plan an entire TMCC program with reference to a specific four-year program at a university. An Associate of Science Degree is awarded upon the completion of the basic curriculum leading to an Associate of Science degree.
The AS NRM program recommends 72 credits to be equipped to either join the workforce or to transfer to NDSU to begin your BS NRM degree program.
