The Environmental and Natural Resources program of study explores the occupations and educational opportunities associated with the research, design, and planning of engineering or technical duties in the prevention and control of environmental hazards. This program of study may also include exploration into conducting research for the purpose of identifying, abating, or eliminating sources of pollutants or hazards that affect either the environment or the health of the population.

Principles of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources
Grade: 8 - 12 Credit: 1 Course ID:3701 13000200
Prerequisite: None
To be prepared for careers in agriculture, food, and natural resources, students must attain academic skills and knowledge in agriculture. This course allows students to develop knowledge and skills regarding career opportunities, personal development, globalization, industry standards, details, practices, and expectations. To prepare for success, students need to have opportunities to learn, re-inforce, experience, apply, and transfer their knowledge and skills in a variety of settings.
Wildlife, Fisheries, and Ecology Management
Grade: 9 - 12 Credit: 1 Course ID: 3702 13001500
Prerequisite: Principles of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources
Wildlife, Fisheries, and Ecology Management examines the management of game and non-game wildlife species, fish, and aqua crops and their ecological needs as related to current agricultural practices. Students will have the opportunity to earn Hunter and Boater Education Certificates. To prepare for success, students need opportunities to learn, reinforce, apply, and transfer their knowledge and skills in a variety of settings.

Mathematical Applications in Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources
Grade : 11-12 Credit: 1
Course ID: 3408 13001000
Prerequisite: Algebra 1
Students will apply knowledge and skills related to mathematics, including algebra, geometry and data analysis in the context of agriculture, food and natural resources.
Scientific Research and Design
Grade: 10 - 12 Credit: 1 (This course may be used for Science credit but is not a weighted course.)
Course ID: 3853 13037200
Prerequisite: Biology, Chemistry, IPC, or Physics
Scientific Research and Design is a broad-based course designed to allow districts and schools considerable flexibility to develop local curriculum to supplement any program of study or coherent sequence. The course has the components of any rigorous scientific or engineering program of study from the problem identification, investigation design, data collection, data analysis, formulation, and presentation of the conclusions. All of these components are integrated with the career and technical education emphasis of helping students gain entry-level employment in high-skill, high-wage jobs and/or continue their education.
Practicum in Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources
Grade: 11- 12 Credit: 1 Course ID: 3706 13002500
Prerequisite: 3 courses in Agriculture
Practicum in Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources is designed to give students supervised practical application of knowledge and skills. Practicum experiences can occur in a variety of locations appropriate to the nature and level of experiences such as employment, independent study, internships, assistantships, mentorships, or laboratories. The practicum course is a paid or unpaid capstone experience for students participating in a coherent sequence of career and technical education courses in the Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources Career Cluster®.
