The following are Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology Graduate Online Courses, which are available to anyone with a bachelor’s degree. These courses are offered as part of the Graduate Certificate in Wildlife Conservation Actions, but are also available to those who do not want to pursue the complete certificate.

• FW 556 – Wildlife Conservation Ethics – Effective wildlife conservation requires a strong moral foundation. Refine your own land ethic while exploring the philosophy of major influencers in American conservation ethics.

• FW 557 – Wildlife Habitat Management on Private Land – Over two-thirds of the United States land base is privately owned, and a large proportion of threatened or endangered species utilize habitats on private lands. Learn how private land stewards can and do contribute to conservation, benefit landscapes, enhance wildlife populations, and provide access, while also producing the food and fiber on which we depend. Construct a comprehensive habitat management plan for a specific privately held ecosystem that includes opportunities such as raising livestock, growing crops, providing for fish and wildlife, and recreation.

• NR 501 – Leadership and Public Communications – Effective conservation leadership depends on identifying and understanding relevant audiences. Prepare effective communications (oral, written, and visual) to increase the public’s awareness

• NR 535 – Action for Sustainable Behavior – You will use a service-learning approach to make meaningful changes by working with a community partner to support sustainability in their organization or in the community they serve, all while studying what it takes to be a sustainability change agent. The instructor arranges for community partners who are ready to work with remote students who have various schedules.  Alternatively, you can work with the instructor to arrange a partnership with the organization of your choice. This is a great opportunity to connect with people doing the real-world work that you care about.
