Grassland Management Certificate

Program Description
Grasslands represent a fundamental resource of the region that determines the environmental and economic future of the Great Plains states. Many of the managers or advisors on these grasslands have B.S. degrees in natural resources or agriculture and want to further develop their expertise in grassland management through university programs. However, constraints associated with their work schedule and responsibilities limit their ability to pursue conventional on-campus coursework and graduate degrees.

The Grassland Management Certificate Program was developed with the needs of these professionals in mind as well as other students interested in distance education opportunities. Students will work with their institutional advisors to develop a plan of study most beneficial to the student. Coursework may be transferred in on a case-by-case basis with the approval of the student’s advisor.

Course delivery format
This program is delivered fully online through the AG*IDEA Program, an affiliate of the Great Plains IDEA, a national consortium of universities offering programs and courses in agriculture disciplines. AG*IDEA’s fully-online program provide flexibility, enabling students to balance career advancement with professional, social and financial commitments.
