University Overview

Studying in this field has prepared my knowledge to properly plan and manage natural resources. I learned to integrate scientific issues into solving problems surrounding our environment. I️ studied extensively into the parts and processes of ecology in forests, range-lands and water systems. Understood the value of using various computer applications with ecology such as Esri's ArcGIS and Microsoft's Office Excel. Intensive understanding of the workings of ecosystems of how they co-evolve with human influences.


• Attained knowledge of the statistical analysis of plants, water, and soil data to acquire an understanding of ecological factors, with a strict evaluation of environmental qualities.


• Specified ability in programs such as ArcGIS and Microsoft Office to formalize technology with various environmental and natural resource projects and the understanding spatial data with real world applications.
