I am interested in starting an MPA (maybe MPP?) with an end goal of working at an environmental or animal focused organization (nature conservancy, WWF, ASPCA, nat geo society etc) are there any colleges with strong ties to this industry??
Hi everyone. A little background on me- bachelors in psychology, worked in people ops/HR/payroll, currently work at a healthcare lab. I am doing a wildlife rehab externship this summer and I volunteer doing equine assisted therapy. I have many additional years of non profit volunteer experience, mainly all focused on animal welfare and environmental conservation. I am interested in changing my career to nonprofit work as I’m very mission driven
Would an online MPA be advised? are there any programs that focus on animal behavior/welfare/rehabilitation or wildlife/environmental/ecological conservation? Is it possible to make meaningful connections when doing an online MPA? Also, are you able to work in policy with an MPA?
I will be volunteering/externing at a wildlife rehabilitation center this summer but not sure what type of shoes/boots I will need. I do plan on asking them for recommendations before I start but figured I’d ask you guys also
