Practical Work Experience

 

 

The NREM program also requires all undergraduates to complete a practical work experience – NREM 104.  This is a non-credit requirement which may be completed prior to attending ISU (but, after graduation from high school).  Typically, this involves 400 hours of work in a career-related position.  The intent is to give the student a better idea of the employment opportunities and conditions in the field of natural resources.  We offer placement assistance for students looking to complete this requirement.  If you are planning to transfer to ISU, feel free to contact us for additional information and assistance in this area.
