Undergraduate Studies
If you are interested in working with plants, people, the environment or natural resources, then NRES is the place for you. We offer Bachelor of Science degrees in both Horticulture and Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences. Because of the interdisciplinary nature and complexity of environmental issues, our undergraduate students develop a broad background and then concentrate their studies in one area of interest.

Welcome New Undergrads!

You can find useful information to prepare for new student registration and starting at UIUC in our handbook.
