Program Admission

Undergraduate students will apply for admission to the University of Wyoming, and then declare a major or minor within the Haub School at any point during their course of study. To declare a major or minor, students must meet with a Haub School academic advisor.

Graduate students interested in the concurrent major or minor in Environment & Natural Resources (ENR) will apply for admission to a primary degree program at the University of Wyoming. Once accepted to their primary graduate program, students must complete an additional online process to confirm their enrollment in the ENR major or minor. During the Haub School admission process, students will select a Haub School faculty mentor and submit a one-page Statement of Purpose. Current application requirements available online.

Applicants to the J.D./M.A. in ENR must apply to both the College of Law and the Haub School. Admission to the joint degree program is contingent on acceptance to the College of Law. Current application requirements are available online.

More information, including complete curricula for each academic offering, is available from the Haub School. Students enrolled in multiple Haub School programs must earn 12 credits unique to each program.

Students must earn a C or better in all courses fulfilling program requirements - including Haub School U.S. Diversity and Global Awareness courses, and degree, major, and/or minor courses.

Haub School Requirements

(for undergraduate students earning their primary degree from the Haub School)

Undergraduate students earning a B.S. in Environmental Systems Science, a B.S. in Outdoor Recreation and Tourism Management, and/or a B.S. in Environment and Natural Resources (plus a concurrent major in another field) must fulfill two courses (totaling 6 credit hours) of Haub School Requirements. An undergraduate degree from the Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources indicates that students are liberally educated, with the foundational skills and knowledge to approach local and global contexts from multiple perspectives. The approved courses for the following requirements are searchable within WyoRecords under the Browse Classes feature. Students must earn a C or better in all core curricula courses.

U.S. Diversity (ASD). This requirement allows students to explore the complexity of cultural identities in the U.S. and interdependence of the cultures. Students will gain an understanding of the influences of categories such as race, class, ethnicity, gender, disability, sexual orientation, religion, and age on American behaviors, institutions, values, and beliefs.
Global Awareness (ASG). Because citizens ever more frequently encounter behaviors and practices based on beliefs, conditions, and assumptions different from their own, they need to understand the nature and function of culture. Our students should have an awareness of the multiple links that affect the living conditions and range of action of peoples of the world, including international systems of commerce, art, science, sustainability, technology, politics, communication, belief, and justice, among others.
