All continuing graduate students who are not enrolled for course credits, thesis credits, Doctoral Research (999) or Master's Continuing Research (GRAD 900), and are not in residence, are required to register for GRAD 800 each semester of the academic year (or each summer for students in MATH M.S.T., and English M.S.T. and College Teaching M.S.T. programs). Students registered for GRAD 800 are considered part-time. Not graded.

Management of natural resources requires the effective involvement of stakeholder and community groups that often have differing perspectives on the path ahead. This course provides a foundation for students from various disciplines to develop a fundamental understanding of the theory and practice of stakeholder and community engagement in natural resource management across a range of ecosystem and governance scales (with a focus on the US Northeast). Students will explore various case studies and track topics of interest throughout the course.

Master's Continuing Research (GRAD 900) is for Master's students who are in residence and need to be full time but have already completed all course requirements, have previously registered for the maximum number of thesis or project credits. As this grants full-time status, students are also responsible for the full time mandatory fees. Effective Fall 2020, GRAD 900 may be taken only once. However, students who need to repeat this registration may do so with permission. Not Graded.
