Included in this track is a summer field camp, providing intense field experience to solidify principles students will need to pursue advanced coursework in focal management areas. Upon graduation, students meet the basic qualifications to apply for certificates in Certified Professional in Rangeland Management and Certified Range Management Consultants, providing competitive credentials in today’s job market.
