Occupational Endorsement Certificate in Conservation Ecology
The Occupational Endorsement Certificate (OEC) in Conservation Ecology prepares students to learn about conservation ecology in a hands-on environment in Alaska where climate change is being witnessed. Though this program of study will be based on ecological theory covered in lecture courses, the focus will be on exploring real-world application of conservation research. Through internships and seminars, students will work with government and non-profit professionals that are doing real-time data collection in environmental conservation.
