This fall's program will run on Thursday evenings from September 21st until November 16th, from 7:00-9:00pm.
The OMNP Fall 2023 certificate program includes eight learning modules taught in a hybrid model, including interactive powerpoints, videos created for the program, virtual learning resources, a virtual trailhead meeting space, and weekly Zoom webinars with the program's content experts. The eight learning modules are as follows: Geology & Anthropology, Mammals, Plants, Birds, Reptiles & Amphibians, Wetlands, Invasive Species, and Insects. While this program does include live weekly webinars, it can also be completed asynchronously. The weekly webinars with the program's content experts are recorded and posted to the online course site, allowing for students to go back and review the recordings on their own time.
