Why NRES?


image of NRES grad
The interdisciplinary approach in NRES is extraordinarily important because you think more broadly. An applied mindset is how it all happens. It requires all different kinds of people and perspectives to effect change. If you get to fly a little higher and see the whole thing, that’s something special.
