Natural Resources
This Is What We Call Our Classroom!
The Natural Resources Program at Snow College is a field-based program that immerses students in the different types of natural resources, including: plants, animals, soil, water, air, minerals, and fossil fuels. The program works closely with local natural resources companies and divisions in order to give graduates real world experience through projects, trainings, and certifications. This emphasis sets our graduates up to be highly attractive to employers and transfer institutions.
