Master of Science in Park and Resource Management

Below is the list of courses for the online MS program. A more complete description of courses is also available by clicking here. Students who wish to complete the program in two years must take two courses per semester and an internship experience and/or a thesis.

The program is designed so that the student does not have to come to campus to study. We understand that many park professionals are unable to take time off and travel to a university. This program enables the park manager to take courses while pursuing his/her profession.
