Whether you work in the area of natural resource management, forest and wildlife management, environmental sciences and consulting or environmental education, a graduate certificate in Restoration Ecology from Auburn University can complement your professional skills or position you to transition to other opportunities, including graduate school.

Key Learning Outcomes

As many native ecosystems have been altered, damaged, degraded, and even totally destroyed, making ecosystem restoration and management decisions has become a critical part of how we respond to past land management choices.

The Restoration Ecology Graduate Certificate program at Auburn University is designed to

1. Help students better understand natural processes in terrestrial ecosystems
2. Provide students with information on processes and practices that are relevant to the restoration of these ecosystems
3. Enhance students’ critical thinking and communication skills
4. Prepare students to take on new professional responsibilities or perhaps go on to graduate school
