Applied Project

An Applied Project is independent research completed under the guidance of a CWS instructor. It can involve working on a project related to a school or work or one provided by a CWS instructor. Before registering, please reach out to us (info@centerforwildlifestudies.org) to discuss your needs and the instructor(s) that you would like to work with.

Any participant, including those enrolled in CWS’s Professional Certificate Program, are eligible to enroll in 1-3 credits each term to work on their project. CWS instructors will work with participants to determine the appropriate number of credits each term.

Examples of projects include but are not limited to:

• Analyzing existing data to answer a research question or test hypotheses, which can be part of a larger funded research project for school or work.

• Designing a study of your own where you collect and analyze original data.

• Reviewing a topic of interest such as the effectiveness of a field method, policy, or law.

• Writing conservation or management plans, impact statements, etc.

• Designing educational materials.
