Online Programs

Guided Independent Learning - Many of our courses have Internet components, which distribute course materials electronically and extend the teaching and learning experience beyond the classroom. These courses may not be not fully Web-based but are Web interactive. Courses on the Internet are complete university courses that are taken on an independent study basis. Such Internet-based courses may include interactive teaching/learning modules to stimulate independent study. We invite you to review these courses and to contact the professor for further information.

Ecology online/RANGE 221 (3 cr.) Fall	An online course in introductory general ecology
Restoration Ecology/RANGE 440 (3 cr.) Spring	Provides an in-depth overview of the field of restoration ecology as an approach to repair/restore damaged wildland ecosystems.
RANGE 459 Rangeland Ecology (2 cr.) Fall	Review and application of ecological principles in rangeland management; stressing response and behavior of range ecosystems to various kinds and intensity of disturbance and management practices.
FOR 426 Wildland Fire Management and Ecology (3 cr.) Fall	We will emphasize fire as an ecological process in wildland ecosystems, how to characterize and predict fire effects over time and space, and how to apply this to restoration ecology.

Graduate courses - Available on-line
Human Dimensions of Restoration Ecology/CSS 572 (3 cr.) Spring	Considers values and the issues they raise are as important for resource management and planning as ecological values.
Practicum in Restoration Ecology/CSS 580 (2 cr.)	Provides a capstone practicum experience for students who have completed Rnge 440 Restoration Ecology ( 3 cr.), Fish 504 Wetlands Restoration Ecology (3 cr.), For 526 Fire Ecology (1 cr.), and CSS 572 Human Dimensions in Restoration Ecology (3 cr.).
FOR 504 Fire Regime condition Class (1 cr.) Fall/Spring	Information Pending
Plant Ecophysiology/RANGE 560 (3 cr.) Fall	The course focuses on the functional responses and adaptations of individual plant species to their environment, emphasizing morphological and physiological mechanisms that influence plant establishment, the physical environment, below- and above-ground productivity, and plant interactions such as competition, herbivory and allelopathy.
FISH 540 Wetlands Restoration Ecology (3 cr.) Fall	This course contains modules covering wetland science, restoration ecology, freshwater restoration, coastal restoration, and monitoring/maintenance. The emphasis is on the science of wetland ecosystems and the applied ecology/practice of restoration, with additional consideration of cultural and socio-political contexts.
