Masters in Environmental Management
Universidad San Francisco de Quito - USFQ
Description
This professional master's degree is based on an integral approach to environmental management, based on four axes: Biophysical Environment, Human Environment, Environmental Management, and Institutional Environment. In this inter and multidisciplinary scheme, the conservation needs of natural resources and the social demands of the populations that depend on these resources are linked throughout the program, allowing the understanding, analysis, and solution of environmental problems from a social perspective. This orientation is combined with a solid training in the use of environmental and organizational planning tools, understanding of current environmental policy and legislation, as well as environmental communication and negotiation tools, which tend to achieve participatory management of natural resources and the environment. All this, together with the academic experience and relations with the authorities and the community that Universidad San Francisco de Quito has achieved in almost two decades of presence, experience, and work in the islands.
