Special emphasis includes holistic community-based approaches, leveraging three-way partnerships between communities, governments, and external actors, and scaling-up local impact across regions. Core conservation courses include:
1) Fundamentals of Ecosystem-based Conservation;
2) Community-based
Natural Resource Management;
3) Sustainable Livelihoods and Incentives for Conservation;
4) Global Conservation Trends and Policies;
5) Technologies for Practitioners; and
6) Facilitation-Presentation Skills for Practitioners
This program allows students to remain in their own countries and to continue serving their communities without having to relocate. This program integrates:
• Online coursework with global peers
• First-hand experience with a wide range of international development and conservation programs through four one-month site residentials (one-month per term) in sites such as India, Kenya, Haiti, and Nepal
• A two-year applied practicum project, executed by the student in his/her current professional and local context
