Introduction
The Graduate Certificate in Forest Carbon Science, Policy, and Management is an online program offered through the Forest Carbon and Climate Program (FCCP) with the Department of Forestry. The Certificate is designed to enhance understanding and implementation of climate-smart forest management, which inextricably links climate change mitigation and adaptation. Learners will complete three courses: 1) Human Dimensions of Forest Carbon Management, 2) Measurement and Monitoring of Forest Carbon, and 3) Forest Carbon Policy, Economics and Finance. These courses can be completed in any order and build a robust understanding of forest carbon science, methodologies, and practices being used in the field today.
The Graduate Certificate is open to a wide range of participants, including recent graduates, those enrolled in an MS or PhD program, and lifelong learners. The only requirement for admission is completion of a bachelor's degree from an accredited four-year program. While a background in forestry, natural resources, environmental sciences, or a related field is favorable, resources will be made available to accommodate those with a limited scientific background.
