Key Features
Environmental problems are defined in the real world and do not necessarily conform to traditional academic disciplines.
As such, solutions require creative combinations of diverse interests and subjects.
Effective training requires rigorous, problem-focused transdisciplinary action in a setting in which research is an essential element supporting instruction.
Courses include:
- Conservation Biology
- Fundamentals of Ecology
- Population Ecology
- Qualitative Research Methods for Environmental Scientists
- Multivariate Data Analysis for Ecology and Environmental Science
