Because of the extent, character, and importance of Idaho’s rangelands, excellent opportunities exist for graduate study in all phases of rangeland use and management. The Forest, Wildlife, and Range Experiment Station of the college sponsors and funds research in rangeland ecology and management as well as in other disciplines within the college. Cooperative research programs exist and are funded by the College of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, USDA Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Idaho Park Studies Unit, timber companies, and the livestock industry. All faculty members have teaching and service responsibilities as well as research activities.

Admission for graduate study normally requires completion of coursework equivalent or similar to that required for the undergraduate curriculum in range resources. Students with different backgrounds may be admitted if deficiencies can be corrected in a reasonable time. The graduate program allows for diversity in a variety of fields such as range ecology, wildlife, animal science, soils, agricultural economics, forestry, and others.
