PGCert in Natural Resources Conservation and Research

The Ecological Economics certificate is a Certificate of Graduate Study delivered online and shared by the Rubenstein School, UVM's environment and natural resources unit and UVM's agriculture and life sciences college. It introduces ecological economics as a transdisciplinary field. That field looks at how economic, social and ecological systems relate to one another, using systems thinking and a range of perspectives, with the aim of supporting a wellbeing economy for everyone. Because the certificate is online, it fits working professionals and others who cannot relocate. It is listed under environment and sustainability and business and economy, and the page names a program director who oversees it. Learners can use the credits toward understanding how policy, markets and ecosystems interact, either as a standalone credential or alongside other graduate study.
