Graduate Study

    
   

Designated as a Program of Research and Scholarly Excellence (PRSE) by Colorado State University, the Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory has for more than 30 years provided scholarly leadership and mentoring to future ecosystem scientists.  NREL provides students with a unique opportunity to participate in interdisciplinary research programs that address many of the ecological challenges of this new Millennium.

Graduate Study at NREL

The Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory is a center for research, rather than an academic department.   As such, the laboratory provides research opportunities, supervision and support for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.  Degree Programs are offered through the Graduate Degree Program in Ecology or through other CSU academic departments.

How to Apply for Graduate Study at NREL

Students applying for admission to an NREL graduate study program will need to satisfy the Graduate School admission requirements as well as submit a letter of application to the Laboratory's Director.  Financial aid is available to many of the NREL's students through a variety of scholarships, fellowships and research stipends.

Graduate Student News

Read about recent and upcoming graduate student activities.

"The NREL has through its relatively brief history been among the elite research institutions in ecosystems science. This success derives largely from the close working relationships among students and between senior scientists and students at the laboratory. The NREL fosters an open exchange of ideas among scientists with diverse backgrounds and research interests that often is not available in traditional university departments. My closest professional contacts and most enduring views of the conduct and theory of ecology were developed while at the laboratory. All four of the graduate students with whom I shared office space at NREL are highly-successful and influential contributors to their disciplines in ecology."
