The Certificate in Military Land Sustainability is offered through the Department of Rangeland, Wildlife and Fisheries Management (RWFM) in partnership with the Texas A&M Natural Resources Institute (NRI). It is a flexible, primarily online graduate program that combines coursework and field experience to develop natural resource professionals knowledgeable in the concepts and practices that promote military land sustainability. The goal of this professional certificate is to equip students with knowledge and skills for managing relationships among ecology, economics, policy and culture, and how they influence natural resource conservation and management on military lands. To achieve this, program coursework integrates three multidisciplinary thematic areas of emphasis: land management, policy analysis and development, and cultural competencies and conflict management.

This certificate is ideal for students interested in careers with the Department of Defense or other agencies that work closely with the United States military.

This program is also approved for delivery via asynchronous distance education technology.
