The RMAL degree integrates many of the existing courses and faculty expertise of academic departments within the College of Agriculture, Life Sciences and Natural Resources (CALSNR). This program will be administered at the College level with resources and recognition shared among all participating departments. The degree is profoundly interdisciplinary, as the objective is for students to develop a foundational level of competency in animal production, agricultural business operations, forage production, and rangeland and soil management as well as developing critical competencies in leadership, communications, human resources management, and technology.
