Degree timeline
- Read through your letter of acceptance carefully, ask any questions you need answered, sign, and return to the Director of the MNR. There may be a suggested course or two you’ll need to take in order to have the appropriate prerequisites for upper division and graduate level courses. Be sure to address these requests early in your graduate coursework. These courses typically do not count towards your degree requirements.
- Review the degree requirements. These are outlined in the University’s Catalog.
- Register for classes that will contribute to your MNR degree program. You can register for the number of courses that fit within your life schedule. Seek advising from the Director and the CNR Graduate Studies Office for the program if you have questions. A list of qualifying courses for each Option in the MNR can be found here in the catalog. Additional courses may be taken to fulfill degree requirements on a case by case basis. If you want to take courses outside this list, just work with the Director or CNR Graduate Studies Office to request a substitution- this is a flexible program.
- Get to know the faculty. The MNR has a Core group of faculty who help govern the program, but all CNR faculty are here to support you. Search the faculty pages for the Core Faculty as well as the CNR faculty pages.
- Once your required coursework is completed, register for 2 non-thesis online research credits NR 599. Contact CNR Graduate Studies Office for section number.
- Graduation. Once your coursework is completed at the required minimum standard (B average or higher), apply to graduate and you can celebrate the completion of your MNR degree! Be sure to keep in touch via our Facebook page, and let your Advisor and the Director know how the MNR has worked for you.
