Program Overview
This Master’s program gives students the flexibility to earn a master’s degree while continuing to work full-time. RMA students learn how to build stakeholder capacity, practice effective communication strategies, and provide leadership and management to organizations and communities facing a myriad of challenges due to difficult resource management decisions, especially within the context of a changing climate. Students do this through a combination of weekend coursework and applied research projects with faculty, other students, and organizations working in this field.
Students who wish to earn a Master of Science in Resource Management & Administration (RMA) have three paths to do so. All pathways have different requirements; students’ selected pathway should be chosen in consultation with an academic advisor:
