I feel like a few weeks ago I saw a post on this list about funded MS opportunities in the conservation non-profit management field. Even if I'm incorrect, can anyone give me some advice or background in regards to a degree program such as that? I currently hold an MS in wildlife biology but I've been working in the non-profit sector for the last year as the director for a local NFP organization that is related to forest conservation. I have been applying for more (full-time) positions like it around the country. I'm curious if having a second degree in NFP management would be beneficial and make me more competitive? Are these programs funded? I've looked a little online and I feel like I keep seeing a lot of programs from online and for-profit colleges. I'm looking for something like I did the first time around, a funded MS research and thesis style program at a traditional university. This is only something I'm considering at the moment, I'd like to learn more, but I'm not quite sure where to start. I thought I'd reach out to this group to see if anyone can give me advice, tell me if it's worth it, where to look, etc. Despite my love of wildlife biology and working in a more analytical setting like a biologist I feel like I have a lot of strengths in non-profit management. I'd like to go on in my career to become a director for a large NFP as my way to make my own impact in wildlife and forest conservation.
If you can advise me please send me an email to [email protected] Thank you for taking the time to read this.
