Graduates of this program will be the next generation of managers for outdoor lodges, wildlife-based corporations, and natural resource-based non-profit organizations. This program is one of only a handful across the globe and will provide a unique opportunity for the successful applicant to further advance a world class educational program. This will be a 12-month, full-time permanent position (non-tenure track).
