Program Quick Facts
The Master of Natural Resources, Non-Thesis (MNA) degree provides professional graduate training in the interrelationships between natural resources, ecology, policy, conservation efforts and human effects on our environment. Graduates will have gained the knowledge in existing natural resources science and technology to use in natural resource conservation to benefit humanity, not as a research degree.

Individuals with a baccalaureate degree from a college or university of recognized standing, or qualified Texas A&M University seniors during their last semester, may apply for admission to graduate studies to pursue the non-thesis degree of Master of Natural Resources. The program is ideal for working professionals seeking graduate training in the field of natural resources with an emphasis in either policy or management. 

Degree candidates must demonstrate problem solving capabilities related to natural resources policy and management. Degree candidates may gain such capabilities by completing a professional internship that is designed to provide meaningful, applied, practical experiences, and which may vary in duration from three to nine months depending upon departmental requirements.

This program is offered as a hybrid, in-person and distance course or 100% online.
