The Sustainable Natural Resources graduate certificate is a 20-credit interdisciplinary program offered online through Ecampus. Students take five required courses and two elective courses, all designed to build personal and organizational capacity to examine the many aspects of natural resource problems—environmental, economic, and social—in the search for innovative solutions. The courses are organized into three main sections: integration, human dimensions, and ecology and management of sustainable natural resources. All courses in the certificate program are integrated through a student-designed capstone project that addresses a specific sustainability problem in the student’s own organization or region. Throughout the program, students will work with faculty members and other students, and under the guidance of an assigned mentor to design and complete the project.

More information, including international admissions requirements, may also be found on the Ecampus website.
