Graduate Seminar in Conservation Biology
Grad Sem Conservation Bio
This graduate-level course examines the scientific foundations, contemporary challenges, and applied practice of conservation biology in a human-dominated world. The course emphasizes how ecological theory, data, and models are used to inform real-world conservation decisions across policy, management, nonprofit, and private-sector contexts.
Designed for working professionals, the course integrates foundational conservation science with applied case studies, analytical interpretation, and professional communication. Students will engage with primary literature, policy-relevant syntheses, and practitioner perspectives to evaluate conservation tradeoffs, uncertainty, and decision-making under real constraints.
