What Are NREM Graduates Doing?
Since Spring 2004, NREM has graduated over 50 students with a B.S. degree, 18 with a M.S. degree, and 2 with a Ph.D.degree. Their career paths have been as diverse as our student body.
Graduate school
Approximately one-third of NREM graduates have gone on to graduate school, some continuing at NREM or moving to related departments at UH-Mānoa such as the Departments of Urban and Regional Planning, Tropical Plant and Soil Sciences, and Botany.
Government service
Several students have gone to work for state or federal governments in forestry and wildlife, natural resources, and even for the United Nations. These include students who obtained employment after participating in the federal Student Career Enhancement Program (SCEP).
Non-profit
Some of our graduates are working for institutions that promote environmental education, awareness, and action.
For-profit
Other graduates are working in natural resources for golf courses, resorts, and landscape companies. Recent graduates in environmental areas have found jobs with engineering, consulting, and development companies.
Education
Although certification is required for public school teachers in most states, some of our NREM graduates are pursuing teaching at the K-12 level.
