Students that complete the Natural Resource Management certificate should be able to integrate technical “field” knowledge with analytical skills to solve important natural resource management problems.
Specifically, students should be able to:
- Describe ecological processes, including human impacts that influence ecosystem change, and the future sustainability of natural resources.
- Characterize natural resources and be familiar with methods to quantify at least one of these resources.
- Identify desired future conditions to achieve natural resource-related objectives, prescribe management actions needed to achieve those objectives, and evaluate success of prescribed actions.
