Cert in Forestry

This fully online certificate introduces arboriculture and urban forestry. It works well for undergraduates who want extra depth and for working professionals seeking additional training. Students complete five courses chosen from topics such as arboriculture principles, landscape plants and pruning. Start dates are flexible, and the sequence can begin in any semester to fit busy schedules. Certified arborists can earn continuing education credits through several of the courses. The certificate may be paired with any degree here, and credits apply toward the associate degree in arboriculture and forest management for communities or the bachelor's degree in natural resources conservation. Taken on its own, the certificate offers a compact introduction to tree care in built environments, where arborists help improve the quality of life in towns and neighborhoods.
