Master of Natural Resources – Online

Accelerated Master's Platform

Get a jump-start on your Master of Natural Resources while finishing your undergraduate degree in natural resources online with Oregon State University Ecampus. Earn graduate credits and apply those credits to both degrees as a part of Oregon State’s Accelerated Master’s Platform. Undergraduate students enrolled in Ecampus graduate courses will pay the graduate tuition and fees rate.

AMP up your career timeline

The Accelerated Master’s Platform allows current undergraduate natural resources students to take graduate-level courses online that will be applied to their bachelor’s degree, and the credits earned will be transferred to OSU’s Master of Natural Resources program.

You can apply to the AMP program after completing at least 105 credits in your bachelor’s program. If you’re accepted, you’ll matriculate into the master’s program immediately after graduation — and you can avoid paying the graduate school application fee.

Complete your master’s within one year of finishing your bachelor’s

You can have up to 12 graduate credits transferred and applied toward your Master of Natural Resources degree as a student in the AMP program. With careful planning and by taking a full-time course load, you could complete a master’s degree within one year of earning your bachelor’s degree.

Admission requirements

  • Completion of 105 credits toward your undergraduate degree program
  • A minimum of 3.25 OSU cumulative GPA in undergraduate coursework; the courses that apply to the graduate degree must be 3.0 or better
  • Cover letter and three letters of reference; one of the references must be your potential graduate faculty advisor
